Buddhaghosa

One of Buddhism’s foundational texts, the Visuddhimagga is a systematic examination and condensation of Buddhist doctrine and meditation technique. The various teachings of the Buddha found throughout the Pali canon are organized in a clear, comprehensive path leading to the final goal of nibbana, the state of complete purification. Originally composed in the fifth century, this new translation provides English speakers insights into this foundational text. In the course of this treatise full and detailed instructions are given on 40 subjects of meditation aimed at concentration, an elaborate account of Buddhist Abhidhamma philosophy, and explicit descriptions of the stages of insight culminating in final liberation. This replaces 9552400236.

Because Slvali in his previous existence as a king besieged this city, he was reborn in hell, and because he closed the lesser gates he remained in the womb of his mother for seven days and seven months and seven years; because in his previous existence as a countryman he gave the comb of honey to the Buddha, he reached the pinnacle of gain and honor. 10.

Book Vm. Thousands, Sahassa Vagga 1. A public executioner viii. 1-100. A bloodthirsty villain seeks admission to a band of thieves. The thieves refuse to admit him because of his inordinate cruelty. He ingratiates himself with a pupil of the ringleader and is finally admitted. The thieves are captured and sentenced to death. The citizens offer to spare the life of the thief who will put his brethren to death. All refuse the offer except the newest member of the band.

Sariputta preaches to him and converts him. When he dies, he is reborn in the heaven of the Tusita gods. The monks express surprise that so bloodthirsty a villain should be reborn in heaven.

Excerpt from The Inception of Discipline and the Vinaya Nid?naThe present translation Of the Bahiranidana was more or less completed as far back as 1956, but for various reasons its publication had to be delayed. I had earlier requested Dr. G. C. Mendis to write an historical introduction from a historian's point of View. His retirement from the University of Ceylon and the consequent departure from Peradeniya finally resulted in the idea being given up. He, however, made available to me a manuscript containing a translation to part of the Bahira nidana. Wherever possible it was made use of. I thank him for suggesting to me to make this translation, particularly on account of its being a useful source-book for the early history of Buddhism in Ceylon.
