The Ancient Palm-Leaves: Containing The Pragna-Paramita- Hridaya-Sutra And The Ushnisha-Vigaya-Dharani.

By Bunyiu Nanjio and F. Max Müller

Book Overview

The Ancient Palm-Leaves is a book that contains two important Buddhist texts, namely the Pragna-Paramita-Hridaya-Sutra and the Ushnisha-Vigaya-Dharani. The book has been compiled and translated by F. Max Muller, a renowned German scholar of Indology and Oriental studies. The Pragna-Paramita-Hridaya-Sutra is a significant Buddhist text that is believed to have been written in Sanskrit around the 1st century CE. It is a concise but profound text that expounds on the concept of emptiness or shunyata, which is a central tenet of Mahayana Buddhism. The Ushnisha-Vigaya-Dharani, on the other hand, is a Buddhist chant or mantra that is believed to have protective and purifying powers. It is often recited by Buddhists as a form of spiritual practice. The Ancient Palm-Leaves is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Buddhism, as well as for anyone interested in exploring the philosophy and teachings of this ancient religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
