Garland of the Buddha's Past Lives (Volume 2) by Arya Shura, Justin Meiland

Garland of the Buddha’s Past Lives, Volume 2 presents fourteen further stories by Aryashura in Justin Meiland’s translation. These Buddhist narratives depict the future Buddha in former lives as animals, ascetics and other beings.

Forbearance, generosity, friendship and the transformation of conflict recur throughout the tales. Part of the Clay Sanskrit Library, this is the second volume of a literary and religious work, not a modern account of verified past-life memories.
