El Libro Budista del Rey de Kosala

The Kosala Samyutta constitutes a unique testimony to the early development of Buddhism and its interaction with secular power in ancient India. Through the figure of King Pasenadi, we witness the gradual acceptance and integration of Buddhist principles into the government and social fabric of the Kosala kingdom. The collection's focus on practical, everyday issues makes it especially valuable for understanding how Buddhist teachings were adapted to the needs of lay followers. The Kosala Samyutta offers a comprehensive guide to applying Buddhist principles to mundane life, from issues related to government and economic ethics to relationships, career and personal development. Thus, the Kosala Samyutta serves not only as a historical document, but as a continuing source of inspiration and guidance for people seeking to balance their spiritual aspirations with their worldly responsibilities. Its teachings on ethical leadership, social responsibility and personal development remain relevant in addressing the complex challenges of modern society.
