Buthsarana Pracheena Madyama Vibhagayata Niyamitha

The book is especially designed for Piriven examination. The current edition deals with three main episodes of Buthsarana - Taming of Angulimala Taming of Alawaka and Vessanthara Jataka. The scholars believe that Buthsarana came to be written during the Dambadeniya period based on its writing style. The work celebrates the Buddha’s unexcelled capacity to tame the untameable persons. Angulimala was a murderer of 999 people yet was tamed by the Buddha. Alawaka was a fierce demon yet tamed by the Buddha. With short as well as long sentences Buthsarana easily enhances a devotee’s admiration towards the Buddha. Buthsarana became popular as it contains vivid and picturesque descriptions of the events during the Buddha’s times. The edition is furnished with a glossary to provide meanings of obscure words found in the text.
