Description
From the Jacket:
This is a book on basic Buddhism with a difference, for it is written by a monk who was native of Ceylon, a scholar and a well-known preacher and broadcaster in Ceylon. He had the Pali canon and the commentaries at his fingertips, so that his book is full of apposite stories and quotations of what the Buddha said - many of them appearing in English for the first time.
In recent years a number of expositions of the Buddha's teachings have been published in English, but most of them lack authenticity and do not represent what the Buddha taught correctly. Hence the need for this authentic book based on the Four Noble Truths about suffering which are the central conception of Buddhism and on the Noble Eightfold Path which is Buddhism in Practice.
This should prove the standard textbook from which basic Buddhism of the Theravada is taught for many years to come. It cannot be stressed too strongly that the Mahayana Buddhism of Tibet, China and Japan is based on and developed out of this basic Buddhism of the Theravadins in Ceylon.
About the Author:
The Venerable Piyadassi Thera was born in Ceylon. He was educated at Nalanda College, one of the most important centres of Buddhist education in Ceylon. He then entered the Ceylon University on a scholarship and read philosophy, culture and civilization. After completing the course he left the university without sitting for his examination as it was not his intention to study for degrees.
At the age of twenty he joined the Order as pupil of the Venerable Vajiranana Sangha Nayaka. At the feet of this great authority on Buddhism he imbibed the knowledge of Buddhism. Having traveled widely as a Buddhist missionary both in the East and in the West, he was able to write in a manner that could appeal to both.

The spectacular wooden figure of the Apostle of Truth and Non-Violence is given a fine treatment with a greater degree of finesse and smoothness. The Lord, who is also considered an incarnation of the Lord Vishnu, is seated on a lotus, a symbol of purity, and he is blessing the devotees. Gautam, as Buddha was known before attaining Enlightenment, gave up the lap of royal luxury, in search of the Absolute Truth and after a severe penance, he could find the panacea for all worldly ills.
The beautiful image of Nepal Buddha is being carved in Tibetan style of Buddhist statues. Such statues are made in Nepal and are available in different postures. Each posture has a different meaning. The face of the figure is smooth with gold paint giving it a unique, matte appearance, and allowing for extra detail. The beautiful image of Lord Gautam Buddha is being nicely carved out with some spectacular carvings on it. The figure reveals greater sense of gracefulness.

Description
Buddha s Orphans is a novel permeated with the sense of how we are irreparably connected to the mothers who birthed us and of the way events of the past, even those we are ignorant of, inevitably haunt the present. But most of all it is an engrossing, unconventional love story and a seductive, transporting read.
