Mahaa Parinirwana Dharmaya

This supremely documented edition of Maha Parinirvana Sutta was produced by a doyen of classical Sinhala literature Venerable Bambarende Siriseevali Thero. Scholars opine that this is one of the preaching of Lord Gauthama Buddha at the last stage of his life which is full of humane feelings. The editor’s attention was mainly focused on exploration of social realism together with the religious values embedded in Mahaparinirvana Sutta for the benefit of students who are studying Buddhist philosophy culture and Pali literature. This text opens with an introductory preface including explanation clarifications extended comments where relevant in a simple intelligible and charming language followed by Maha Pariniawana suttha in Pali verse and then verse to verse translation in Sinhala. This text is ideally matched for the requirements of advanced students.
