Cariyāpiṭakapāḷi - Book of Basket of Conduct

The present book, Cariyāpiṭaka, belongs to the Pāḷi Tipiṭaka, the authorized recension for the Theravāda Buddhism. Keeping in line with the Indian inclinations, Cariyāpiṭaka was the first attempt at creating a biography of Lord Buddha – not a biography dealing with physical and mundane matters of this life but a biography stretching in to time immemorial to understand and enumerate the qualities that Lord Buddha developed over a period of 100,000 eons and four incalculables – a period beyond reckoning. Cariyāpiṭaka was meant as a guide for those interested in developing their character and their pāramī, so they can get on the path to liberation. The teachings herein are exclusively focused on Lord Buddha’s practice and perfection of pārāmis, hence the name “Basket of Conduct”.In this book, both Pāḷi originals and English translations are provided so it’s easier for those who want to learn Pāḷi or just read the translations. Most of the Pāḷi terms now have been standardized across all the books I have authored. A full Pāḷi-English Glossary and detailed Endnotes will help the interested reader to explore further.Read more
