The Gatakamala, also known as the Garland of Birth Stories, is a collection of Buddhist tales compiled by the Indian monk Arya Sura in the 2nd century CE. This book was translated into English by Charles Rockwell Lanman in 1895. The book consists of 28 stories, each depicting the previous lives of the Buddha in various forms, such as animals, gods, and humans. These stories are meant to teach moral lessons and provide examples of Buddhist virtues such as compassion, generosity, and non-violence. The tales in The Gatakamala are written in a poetic style and are often accompanied by illustrations. They are believed to have been originally composed in Sanskrit and were later translated into various languages, including Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese. Overall, The Gatakamala is a valuable source of Buddhist literature and provides insight into the moral teachings and beliefs of the religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
