Buddhist Legends, Part 2 is a book written by Buddhaghosa and first published in 1921. The book is a collection of stories and legends from the Buddhist tradition, specifically focusing on the lives and teachings of various Buddhist figures. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the Buddhist tradition. The first section focuses on the lives of the Buddha's disciples, including Ananda, Sariputta, and Moggallana. The second section explores the lives of the Buddha's female disciples, including Mahapajapati, Uppalavanna, and Khema. The third section of the book focuses on the Jataka tales, which are stories about the Buddha's past lives. These stories are meant to illustrate important Buddhist teachings and principles, and are often used as a way to teach children about Buddhism. The fourth section of the book explores the lives of various Buddhist kings and rulers, including King Asoka and King Bimbisara. The final section of the book focuses on the lives of various Buddhist monks and nuns, including Upagupta, Dhammapala, and Sanghamitta. Throughout the book, Buddhaghosa weaves together a rich tapestry of stories and legends that provide a fascinating glimpse into the world of Buddhism.
