The Dipavamsa by Hermann Oldenberg Pdf
The Dipavamsa, an edition of which I here lay before the public, is a historical work composed in Ceylon by an unknown author. George Turnour, who first drew the attention of European scholars to the Dipavamsa,2 declared it to be identical with a version of the Mahavamsa to which the Mahavamsa Tika occasionally alludes, the version preserved in the Uttaravihara monastery. This is certainly wrong. We must undertake, therefore, a research of our own as to the origin of the Dipavamsa and its position in the ancient literature of the Ceylonese.

Reading the Mahāvamsa by Kristin Scheible Pdf
Vamsa is a dynamic genre of Buddhist history filled with otherworldly characters and the exploits of real-life heroes. These narratives collapse the temporal distance between Buddha and the reader, building an emotionally resonant connection with an outsized religious figure and a longed-for past. The fifth-century Pali text Mahavamsa is a particularly effective example, using metaphor and other rhetorical devices to ethically transform readers, to stimulate and then to calm them. Reading the Mahavamsa advocates a new, literary approach to this text by revealing its embedded reading advice (to experience samvega and pasada) and affective work of metaphors (the Buddha's dharma as light) and salient characters (nagas). Kristin Scheible argues that the Mahavamsa requires a particular kind of reading. In the text's proem, special instructions draw readers to the metaphor of light and the nagas, or salient snake-beings, of the first chapter. Nagas are both model worshippers and unworthy hoarders of Buddha's relics. As nonhuman agents, they challenge political and historicist readings of the text. Scheible sees these slippery characters and the narrative's potent and playful metaphors as techniques for refocusing the reader's attention on the text's emotional aims. Her work explains the Mahavamsa's central motivational role in contemporary Sri Lankan Buddhist and nationalist circles. It also speaks broadly to strategies of reading religious texts and to the internal and external cues that give such works lives beyond the page.

The History of Buddha's Religion by Anonim Pdf
The text gives us an outline of Buddha's life and briefly deals with the three Buddist Councils held during the reigns of the three Indian kings, Ajatasattu, Kalasoka and Asoka. After the third Council was over, Buddhist missionaries were sent to different countries by Moggaliputta Tissa for the propagation of the Buddhist faith. Of the nine regions visited by the missionaries as mentioned by the author, five are placed in Indo-China. Moggaliputta Tissa sent two separate missionaries to neighbouring regions in the valley of the Irawaddy, besides three others who visited Laos and Pegu. It seems that he took special care for the religions future of Maramma (Burma proper). During the reign of the Sinhalese king Devanampiyatissa who was a contemporary of king Asoka, the Elder Mahinda was sent to Ceylon for the same purpose. So¸a and Uttara visited Suvannabhumi (Sudhammapura,* i.e., Thaton at the month of the Sittaung River). The author holds that even before the missionaries were sent to Suvannahhumi Buddha came there personally to preach his doctrine. Maharakkhita Thera spread Buddism in the country extending along the valleys of the Me-nam and Me-ping rivers and including the Shan States to the north of them. The country of Vanavasior the region around Prome was visited by the Elder Yonakarakkhita who propagated Buddhism there. Kasmira and Gandhara were visited by Majjhantika, and the whole country became a Buddhist stronghold. Buddhism found its way into Mahimsakama¸·ala through Maharevata thera. Mahadhammarakkhita thera and Majjhima thera spread the Buddhistic faith in Maharattha (Mahanagararattha or Siam) and Cinarattha (the Himavantapadesa of the Ceylon books). Similarly Buddhism was propagated in Aparantarattha which is no other than the Sunaparanta of the Burmese, i.e., the region lying west of the upper Irawaddy. The author's horizon seems to be limited, first by an orthodox desire to claim most of the early teachers for the southern countries and hence to prove the purest possible sources for the southern doctrines and secondly by a certain feeling of national pride. The Sasananavamsa has not yet been translated. An English translation of this important text is a great necessity, and I am glad that I have now removed this long-felt want. I had to experience great difficulty in translating it as the text is so very corrupt. I am confident that this translation will be of some use to students and scholars interested in Pali Buddhism current in Burma
