{"product_id":"the-life-of-sakyamuni-buddha","title":"The Life of Sakyamuni Buddha","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe idea of writing this book was in my mind while I was interested in the study of Buddhism at Taisho University, Tokyo. Then I had a chance of studying in India Cultural Scholarship Student in 1959, and Joined the Department of Buddhist Studies, Delhi University. I studies the Buddhist scriptures written in Sanskrit, Pali and Tibetan. There were many names of Bhikkhus, Bhikkhunis, lay-followers, named of towns, mountains and rivers which I never had seen by my eyes. During my three years stay in India I visited almost all Buddhist excavated sights, read books and talked with scholars. I come to the conclusion that every sights, traditions, myths and even superstitions mentioned in those scriptures are true and real. The most impressive sight was a scene in Sutta Nipata \"on the bank of River Mahi\/ I made a Hut to live Cow gave milk now\/ O Heaven Give Us Rain.\" Just the same scene appeared before my eyes. At the foot of Himalaya mountain I visited Lumbini, the scene was just the same as shown in the scripture. Nearly 70 years has passed. I visit India two to three time even now, but still I never forget my first visit. This book is the result of literal archeological, epigraphical  studies including Buddhist scriptures, Puranas, itihasasand and Jaina materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout  the Author(s): Prof. Ryojun Sato \u003c\/strong\u003eis Prof. Emeritus of Taisho University in Tokyo, Japan, He also serves as: Chairman, Board of Director, Meisho Kindergarten, Tokyo; Chief priest, Koen-ji Temple, Tokyo; Member, Board of Counselors, International Buddhist Brotherhood Association, Bodh Gyan, India; Patron, Bengal Buddhist Association, Kolkata, India; Patron, International Brotherhood Mission, Assam, India.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MLBD PUBLICATION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51272677130538,"sku":"CRAZY-9788120842571","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/the-life-of-sakyamuni-buddha.gif?v=1773918035","url":"https:\/\/crazyshelf.com\/products\/the-life-of-sakyamuni-buddha","provider":"Crazyshelf.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
