Buddhist Parables - Eugene Watson Burlingame - Bog

Buddhist Parables Translated from the original Pali by Eugene Watson Burlingame This volume contains upwards of two hundred similes, allegories, parables, fables, and other illustrative stories and anecdotes, found in the Pali Buddhist texts, and said to have been employed, either by the Buddha himself or by his followers, for the purpose of conveying religious and ethical lessons and the lessons of common sense. Much of the material has never before been translated into English.
