Lalita Vistara is an amplified treatise on [Buddhist] religion, the noblest of sutras. It expounds the source of Bodhisattva blessings; discloses the light of Tushita; and dilates on the consultation, advent, career, birth-place, and the greatness of the birth-place of the Buddha; it narrates the special excellencies of his boyhood, of his proficiency in all worldly occupations, in writing and arithmetic, both plain and symbolic- in mechanical arts,- in the practice of the sword, bow and arrow, and in all sorts of gymnastics; it unholds his conjugal enjoyments; recites the method of acquiring the final and immutable reward of all Bodhisattva discipline; displays the career of Tathagata triumphing over the Mara, and his might and majesty in all their eighteen declensions; points out the heresies of the Buddha religion.ISBN:
