Heracleides Ponticus relates that he professed to have been once born as thalides, the son of Hermes, and to have then obtained as a boon from his father ??ta ?a te?e?t?ta ???? ?e?? t? s?a????t??. Consequently he remembered the Trojan war, where, as Euphorbus, he was wounded by Menelaus, and, as Pythagoras, he could still recognise the shield which Menelaus had hung up in the temple of Apollo at Branchid; and similarly he remembered his subsequent birth as Hermotimus, and then as Pyrrhus, a fisherman of Delos. But in India this recollection of previous lives is a common feature in the histories of the saints and heroes of sacred tradition; and it is especially mentioned by Manu as the effect of a self-denying and pious life. The doctrine of Metempsychosis, since the later Vedic period, has played such an important part in the history Of the national character and religious ideas that we need not be surprised to find that Buddhist literature from the earliest times (although giving a theory of its own to explain the transmigration) has always included the ages of the past as an authentic background to the founders historical life as Gautama. Jataka legends occur even in the Canonical Piakas; thus the Sukha-vihari Jataka and the Tittira Jataka, which are respectively the 10th and the 37th in this volume, are found in the Culla Vagga, vii. 1 and vi. 6, and similarly the Khandhavatta Jataka, which will be given in the next volume, is found in the Culla Vagga v. 6; and there are several other examples. So too one of the minor books of the Sutta Piaka (the Cariya Piaka) consists of 35 Jatakas told in verse; and ten at least of these can be identified in the volumes of our present collection already published; and probably several of the others will be traced when it is all printed. The Sutta and Vinaya Piakas are generally accepted as at least older than the Council of Vesali (380 B.C.?); and thus Jataka legends must have been always recognised in Buddhist literature.</p>9781465573124_Library of Alexandrialibro_electonico_2e3e4097-db0e-3c13-82ab-fb9d5352260e_9781465573124;9781465573124_9781465573124Anonymous .InglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/markmoxford-epub-169f0db7-355f-4060-a135-3ee15264f152.epub2024-05-08T00:00:00+00:00Library of Alexandria
