The Dhammapada: A Collection of Verses, Being One of the Canonical Books of the Buddhists (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from The Dhammapada: A Collection of Verses, Being One of the Canonical Books of the Buddhists
The Buddhists themselves have no difficulty in assigning a date to their sacred canon. They are told in that canon itself that it was settled at the First Council, or immediately after the death of Buddha, and they believe that it was afterwards handed down by means of oral tradition, or actually written down in books by order of Kasyapa, the president of the First Council 1. Buddhaghosa, a learned and in some respects a critical scholar, living in the be ginning of the fifth century a.d., asserts that the canon which he had before him, was the same as that fixed by the First Council 2.
