Publisher's Synopsis

The Jataka V2 is a book that contains tales of the previous lives of Gotama Buddha, also known as the Jatakas. This book is the second volume and includes a commentary on the tales. The author of this book is V. Fausboll, and it was originally published in 1879. The Jatakas are stories that illustrate the Buddhist concept of karma, which is the idea that our actions in this life will determine our future lives. Each story tells of a past life of the Buddha and how he learned a valuable lesson that helped him in his current life. The commentary included in this book provides additional insight into the stories and their meanings. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Buddhism, its teachings, and the stories that have shaped its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
