J. B. Disanayaka

    Emeritný profesor Dissanayake je poprednou autoritou v sinhálčine, ktorý sa venuje lingvistike, kultúre a histórii. Svojou rozsiahlu akademickou kariérou, ktorá zahŕňala viac ako 40 rokov výučby na Kolombo univerzite, zanechal nezmazateľnú stopu v štúdiu sinhálskeho jazyka. Jeho diela poskytujú hlboký vhľad do zložitosti jazyka a jeho spojenia s kultúrnym dedičstvom. Dissanayakeho prístup kombinuje lingvistickú precíznosť s vášňou pre uchovanie a šírenie bohatstva sinhálskej tradície.

      This booklet is about the buddha, the founder of buddhism, one of the greatest of our time. We cannot separate tradition from history if we are to grasp the full significance of the classical Buddha-biography as delineated in Buddhist literature and art, Those who roundly dismiss its so-called "mythological" elements as of a later-day accretions fail to discover the buddha, the enlightened one. Instead, as the venerable Bhikku Sanharakkitha says, they "find a person, no doubt amiable and agreeable who believed that he had gained enlightenment"." This booklet is about the buddha, the founder of buddhism, one of the greatest of our time.
