Listen attentively to the history proclaimed by me, which inspires joy and delight, which causes serenity and gladdens the mind, which comprises many various forms. With elated minds, satisfied, delighted and joyful, attentively receive the faultless, auspicious discourse. Listen all, giving your minds to the subject, I will proclaim a history, handed down from generation to generation, highly praised, adorned in many ways, joined together in this work, just as flowers of various kinds form a garland. Attend to this incomparable praise of the Island (Ceylon), which dwells upon the most excellent successions of teachers and kings, which is new and unrivaled and well-narrated, which has been handed down by Saints, which is praised by all good people and revered by the holy ones.\u003c\/p\u003eOn the immovable, firm, unshaken throne, a place worthy of the eminent one, the highest of men sat down, establishing himself in the four branches of fortitude. Seated on this most excellent throne, at the foot of the king of trees, the chief of people, the highest among human beings, like a fearless lion, did not tremble when he saw Mara with the hosts of his army. Having overcome the dispute of Mara and put him to flight together with his army, the Conqueror, full of joy, wise, tranquil, and steadfast, mastered the state of meditation which consists in spiritual insight, and the thorough perfection of attention, and also the knowledge of many various qualities, distinguished by manifold attributes. Mastering the knowledge of former existences and the gift of supernatural vision, the enlighted great sage spent three watches of the night. Thereafter, in the last watch, he revolved in his mind the causes of existence; the glorious one fixed the mind on them in direct and reverse order. Having thoroughly understood the Dhamma, the highly wise one, who had reached emancipation by the destruction of human passions, taught created beings the abandonment of temporal obstacles and the attainment of the path.\" (117-19)\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Oldenberg, Hermann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42101535899742,"sku":"PTS:133842","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3677\/0142\/files\/pts_133842.jpg?v=1760547940"},{"product_id":"2199","title":"Vinaya Pitaka (Pali)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont color=\"firebrick\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e PTS members must order directly from the PTS.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eVol 1 - The Mahavagga, the third book of the Vinaya Pitaka, includes several sutta-like texts, including an account of the period immediately following the Buddha's Awakening, his first sermons to the group of five monks, and stories of how some of his great disciples joined the Sangha and themselves attained Awakening.
