| Abstract | New revised edition. The story of the selfless generosity of Vessantara who gave away everything he had, even his wife and children, is one of the most famous in the Buddhist world. This is a translation from the Pali with an introduction by Richard Gombrich. The book was originally published by Oxford University Press in 1977 but has long been out of print.
This story is called the Vessantara Jataka, it is the last and longest story in the Jataka tales - collections of stories of the previous lives of the Buddha. |
