这本书有繁体版的翻译-<<亲近释迦牟尼佛：从巴利藏经看佛陀的一生>>. 在博客来上的简介: ◎什麼是巴利文经典？ 巴利语原来是古代印度社会中流行的一种大眾语言，相传佛陀就是用这种语言对大眾说法传教。佛教一开始并无以文字书写的经典，到大约西元前一世纪，当时斯里兰卡的统治者召集了僧眾在大寺勘定佛教三藏，用斯里兰卡通行的语文音译巴利语书写，这是最早的巴利语经典。公元5世纪，摩揭陀国三藏法师觉音来到斯里兰卡，重新用僧伽罗文字整理编写巴利文三藏，这就是现在流行的巴利语佛典的原型。 ◎為什麼要读这本佛陀的传记？ 1) 取材自最悠久的典籍：作者於巴利经典中整理分散在律藏和经藏的资料，拂去歷史的迷雾，确实还原 佛陀的一生。 2) 内文不同於一般华丽的传记，更显朴实、传神：在巴利三藏的典籍裡，确实含括了佛陀的完整形象，对照后来词藻华丽的书所勾勒的佛陀，其文词之简鍊与传...(展开全部)

For centuries, Stoicism was virtually the unofficial religion of the Roman world Yet the stress on endurance, self-restraint and the power of the will to withstand calamity can often seem coldhearted. It is Epictetus, a lame former slave exiled by the Emperor Domitian, who offers by far the most positive and humane version of Stoic ideals. "The Discourses, " assembled by his pu...(展开全部)
