Publisher's Synopsis
The Mahajanaka Jataka is a book that tells the story of one of the anterior births of Gotama Buddha, written by Ko, Taw Sein in 1888. The book is based on the Jataka tales, which are a collection of stories about the previous lives of the Buddha. This particular story follows the life of Prince Mahajanaka, who was born into a wealthy family but was forced to flee his kingdom due to a prophecy that he would bring about its downfall. He sets out on a journey across the sea, facing many trials and tribulations, including being shipwrecked and captured by pirates. Along the way, he meets a wise sage who teaches him about the impermanence of life and the importance of cultivating inner peace. Through his experiences, Mahajanaka learns valuable lessons about compassion, wisdom, and the nature of existence. The book is a timeless tale that offers insights into Buddhist philosophy and the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
