Features: Those Buddhist scriptures translated from Sanskrit naturally accumulated over time, becoming an important part of Chinese cultural history. These Buddhist texts are not just simple sermons but contain many philosophical stories, aiming to let readers or believers not only serve the Buddha through dry doctrines but also understand the essence of the teachings from these accessible stories, thereby strengthening their determination and courage in faith. These stories are characterized by being popular, enlightening, and engaging. The book "Buddha's Life" was published in 1808, collecting over 200 stories about the Buddha himself, all sourced from relevant chapters in Buddhist scriptures since its spread to the East. The author has curated this book, selecting over 100 of the most readable and representative stories, translating them into modern vernacular Chinese for easier reading. The book also includes illustrations. It is hoped that it can serve as a shortcut for you to further understand Buddhism and the Buddha Shakyamuni.
