About the Book
This book by B. C. Law presents an important study of Sasana Vamsa (The History of the Buddha’s Religion), a significant historical work originally composed in 1861 by the learned Buddhist monk Pannasami. Although non-canonical in nature, the text holds considerable value for understanding the historical development of Buddhism, its literary traditions, and the evolution of Buddhist institutions.
The work sheds light on the life and scholarship of Pannasami, a distinguished teacher and theologian who served as tutor to the ruler of Meng-dun-Meng and was honoured with the prestigious title of Siri Kaviddhaja Mahadhaamarajadhi Raja-Guru. Through historical analysis and documentation, the book provides valuable insights into Buddhist religious history, monastic traditions, and ecclesiastical developments. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in Buddhist history, literature, and religious studies.
