The Legend Of The Great Stupa Jarungkhasor

By Anonymous

Book Overview

The Legend of the Great Stupa Jarungkhasor is an ancient tale that has been passed down through generations in Tibet. The book, written by an anonymous author, tells the story of how the great stupa was built and why it is considered a sacred place.According to the legend, the stupa was built by a king who wanted to honor his deceased wife. He ordered his subjects to collect all the precious jewels they could find and use them to construct the stupa. The king believed that by doing so, his wife's soul would be protected and she would be able to reach enlightenment.As the stupa was being built, a demon named Jarungkhasor appeared and tried to stop the construction. The demon was eventually defeated by the king's daughter, who used her magical powers to subdue him. The stupa was completed and became a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists from all over the world.The book also includes information about the significance of the stupa in Tibetan Buddhism, as well as its architecture and design. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Tibetan culture and history, as well as those interested in Buddhism and spirituality.""Drunkards preach the Path to Salvation; the advice of sycophants is followed; fraudulent teachers give false initiations; guileful impostors claim psychic powers; loquacity and eloquence pass as wisdom. The arrogant elevate profanity; the proletariat rules the kingdom; kings become paupers; the butcher and murderer become leaders of men; unscrupulous self-seekers rise to high position. The Masters of the High Tantras stray like dogs in the streets and their faithless errant students roam like lions in the jungle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
