The Legend of the Great Stupa Jarungkhasor is an ancient Buddhist tale that has been passed down through generations. The book is written by an anonymous author and tells the story of how the Great Stupa of Jarungkhasor was built.According to the legend, a powerful king named Songtsen Gampo had a dream in which he saw a radiant light shining from the top of a hill. He sent his ministers to investigate and they found a holy relic that was believed to be the Buddha's hair. The king then decided to build a stupa to house the relic and enlisted the help of his two wives, Princess Wen Cheng of China and Princess Bhrikuti Devi of Nepal.The construction of the stupa was not an easy task as it required the gathering of precious stones, gold, and silver from all over the world. The princesses used their diplomatic skills to obtain these materials and the stupa was finally completed after many years of hard work.The legend also tells of the many miracles that occurred during the construction of the stupa, including the appearance of a giant bird that helped to transport the heavy stones. The stupa became a symbol of peace and enlightenment and is still considered a sacred site by Buddhists today.Overall, The Legend of the Great Stupa Jarungkhasor is a fascinating tale that provides insight into the rich history and culture of Buddhism. It is a must-read for anyone interested in spirituality and ancient legends.""Drunkards preach the Path to Salvation; the advice of sycophants is followed; fraudulent teachers give false initiations; guileful impostors claim psychic powers; loquacity and eloquence pass as wisdom. The arrogant elevate profanity; the proletariat rules the kingdom; kings become paupers; the butcher and murderer become leaders of men; unscrupulous self-seekers rise to high position. The Masters of the High Tantras stray like dogs in the streets and their faithless errant students roam like lions in the jungle.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
