BOOK SUMMARY OF BUDDHIST LITERATURE AND ART FACETS OF BUDDHIST THOUGHT AND
CULTURE: VOL. 4
Buddhist literature is amazingly vast. It has been produced at all points of
time in
ancient, medieval and modern times in India and outside all over the world.
Buddhist
literature can be classified time-wise, language-wise and country-wise.
Unfortunately a
large amount of ancient literature could not be preserved and has been lost in
oblivion.
Some of it has been lost in original but some of it is available in translations
and can
be retrieved. It will be a huge but highly significant task to restore the lost
literature,
