Features: Those Buddhist scriptures translated from Sanskrit have naturally accumulated over time, becoming an important part of the history of Chinese culture. These Buddhist texts are not just about delivering sermons, but contain many philosophical stories that aim to help readers or believers not only serve the Buddha through dull doctrines, but also understand the guidance of the doctrines through these easy-to-understand stories, thereby strengthening their determination and courage to believe. These stories are characterized by being simple, enlightening, and engaging. The book "Buddha's Life" was published in 1808 and includes about two hundred stories about the Buddha himself, all collected from relevant chapters in Buddhist scriptures since their introduction to the East. The author has organized and selected over one hundred of the most readable and representative stories from "Buddha's Life" and translated them into modern vernacular to facilitate readers' reading. Illustrations are also included in the book. It is hoped that it will become a shortcut for you to further understand Buddhism and the life of the Buddha.
