Description
The Mahávansi, the Rájá-Ratnácari, and the Rájá-Vali represent foundational sacred and historical texts of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), compiled and edited by Edward Upham. This comprehensive first edition brings together essential Buddhist narratives and historical accounts that shaped the spiritual and cultural landscape of the island nation.
Beyond the primary texts, this work includes a valuable collection of tracts that illuminate Buddhist doctrines and literary traditions. Upham’s scholarly approach provides both the original sacred narratives and supplementary materials designed to deepen understanding of Buddhist philosophy and practice. The compilation serves as both a historical record and a theological resource, making it invaluable for students of Buddhism, historians of South Asian religions, and those interested in Ceylonese culture and spirituality.
