Buddhaghosha's parables

Buddhaghosha's Parables, translated by Henry Thomas Rogers and edited by F. Max Müller, is a seminal work presenting moral and philosophical tales from the 5th-century Buddhist scholar Buddhaghosha. Drawn from Pāli texts, these stories illustrate key concepts of Theravāda Buddhism, such as karma, rebirth, virtue, and the path to enlightenment. The book served as an important medium for introducing Buddhist teachings to the Western world in the 19th century, fostering cross-cultural understanding and advancing the academic study of Eastern religions and literature.
