The Fo-Sho-Hing-Tsan-King: A Life of Buddha by Asvaghosha Bodhisattva (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646797974)

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Fo-Sho-Hing-Tsan-King (1883), translated from Sanskrit to Chinese by Dharmaraksha and from Chinese to English by Samuel Beal, is Volume XIX of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book focuses on Buddhism and is written in over 10,000 lines of poetry by Asvaghosha Bodhisattva while recounting the life of Buddha from birth forward. This text is a valuable addition to the personal library of scholars and of those interested in Buddhism.
