Buddhist Scriptures (Annotated) - Enriched Edition Early Teachings Pali Canon Excerpts Jataka Stories and the Doctrine of Non-Self

Edward Joseph Thomas

Sinopse

Buddhist Scriptures presents a carefully chosen gateway into the canonical and devotional literature of Buddhism, bringing together teachings, dialogues, verses, and narratives that illuminate the Buddha's doctrine and its early transmission. Edward Joseph Thomas's prose is lucid, restrained, and philologically attentive, shaped by the early twentieth-century scholarly tradition of rendering Asian religious texts intelligible to English readers. The volume stands in the context of comparative religion and Orientalist textual scholarship, yet its selections preserve the ethical urgency, contemplative discipline, and narrative simplicity characteristic of Buddhist literature. Thomas was a distinguished British scholar of Buddhism whose work drew deeply on Pali and Sanskrit sources and on the historical study of Indian religion. His broader writings on the life of the Buddha and the development of Buddhist thought reveal a sustained effort to separate legend, doctrine, and historical context without diminishing their religious significance. Buddhist Scriptures reflects this intellectual formation: it is the work of a scholar concerned not merely with translation, but with guiding readers toward the structure and spirit of a tradition. This book is recommended to readers seeking a concise, serious introduction to Buddhist textual heritage. Students of religion, philosophy, and Asian literature will find it especially valuable as a disciplined entrance into Buddhist ethics, metaphysics, and spiritual imagination.

Biblical financial decrees for...

Olusegun Festus Remilekun

Money is one of the major needs of the body of Christ today. As a believer the moment you got born again, you need money to serve Jehovah. 
Divine prosperity, riches, and wealth are from God. Proverbs 8:18, says, ‘’Riches and honor are with me, yea durable riches and righteousness.’’. God is the only one that can bring financial blessings to His children. Haggai 2:8, ‘’ The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. 
As believers, we can declare and decree the word of God into the spiritual atmosphere and command financial prosperity and wealth to manifest in our lives. 
Biblical prophetic decree is a powerful tool in the school of spiritual warfare. We need faith when we do this because faith is the hope of things yet unseen. 
When we desire financial prosperity and wealth in our lives, then we need to keep confessing, decreeing and declaring the word of God into our prosperity until it becomes a reality in our lives. 
God wants His children to be prosperous and wealthy in life so we may be a blessing to the nations. I want to encourage you to use these decrees every day and soon you will see the manifestation of a prosperous and wealthy life.

 Because of Some Situations and Circumstances; 
 Some People have been destined for a vessel of Dishonor.Some people’s ancestors might have made negative covenants that will affect the generations to come.Some are laboring under unknown curses.Some have done some evil deeds in the past that may be crying against them. 
  
 The prayer of Mercy can change the situation. 
  
Mercy opens heaven on our prayer; mercy prevails over the judgment of the enemies. 
  
Mercy draws the attention of God to us. 
  
Mercy makes God forgive our sins and show us kindness.

Let the fire fall - the great...

Olusegun Festus Remilekun

Isaiah 66:15- ‘’For behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.’’ 
The term “fire of God” is often used symbolically in the Bible to portray the presence of God, the power of God, His judgment, His purifying work and, as His emblem of the anointing. 
Fire is a strange and fearful weapon. No power can come against the fire of God and not get roasted and burn to ashes. The dragon can survive anywhere but cannot survive in the fire. When your life carries the fire of God you will be too hot for the devil, to handle. If you notice backwardness, manipulation, prayerlessness, oppression in the dream, it is an indication of the fact that your fire has gone out. You need to come to the presence of God for fresh fire. The fire of God will help you preserves your  life, career, business, and ministry. It will also consume your enemy.
