Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the historical and cultural foundations of Lanka, an ancient kingdom established on the island now known as Sri Lanka. The book draws from Mahavamsa, a revered historical document, to provide a detailed account of the island's transformation from a land inhabited by… local indigenous communities to the arrival of Buddhism. The book places the story of Lanka within the broader context of Buddhist history, focusing on pivotal moments such as the three visits of the Buddha to the island and the arrival of his teachings, which transformed Lankan society and shaped its religious and cultural identity. The book delves into the arrival of the sacred Bodhi tree, the establishment of monastic orders, and the construction of renowned stupas and viharas, which serve as enduring symbols of Lanka's deep-rooted Buddhist heritage. In addition to religious history, the book sheds light on the island's political and social developments, including the arrival of Indian prince Vijaya and the establishment of the Anuradhapura kingdom. Throughout, the author provides insights into the reigns of various Lankan kings, their contributions to the kingdom's growth and stability, and their patronage of Buddhism. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history, culture, and religious traditions of Sri Lanka. It provides a comprehensive overview of Lanka's ancient past, tracing the origins and evolution of a civilization shaped by Buddhism and offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of its heritage.
