This selection of religious biographies from the early centuries C.E. offers a delightful introduction to a literary genre that has played an essential part in Buddhist self-understanding for over two thousand years. The Heavenly Exploits are Buddhist Biographies from the Dvyavadna. The worldly face of religious literature, these lively morality tales have inspired audiences across Asia for more than two millennia. This volume contains four of the thirty-eight Buddhist biographical stories in the Dvyvadana, or Heavenly Exploits. Where religion meets the world, these tales present something for everyone.
