The Vimana-Vatthu Of The Khuddhaka Nikaya Sutta Pitaka is a book written by Edmund Rowland Gunaratna in 1886. The book is an exploration of the Vimana-Vatthu, which is a collection of stories about the celestial mansions of the gods in Buddhist mythology. The stories in the Vimana-Vatthu are believed to have been compiled during the 1st century BCE and are part of the Khuddhaka Nikaya Sutta Pitaka, one of the five collections of the Buddhist scriptures. Throughout the book, Gunaratna provides a detailed analysis of each of the stories in the Vimana-Vatthu, examining their themes, symbolism, and historical context. He also explores the various interpretations of the stories that have been put forward by other scholars and provides his own insights into their meaning.The book is considered an important resource for scholars and students of Buddhism, as well as anyone interested in the mythology and folklore of ancient cultures. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex world of Buddhist mythology and offers valuable insights into the beliefs and values of the people who created these stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
