King Aj_ta_atru is well-known among Buddhists for being misled by the Buddha's jealous brother-in-law and cousin, Devadatta, into bringing about his father's death and usurping the throne of the Kingdom of Magadha. Despite this, he also came to repent his deeds and became a sincere supporter of the Buddha. This publication presents four first English translations of s_tras on Aj_ta_atru, his repentance, and the eventual assurance of his attainment of Buddhahood.
The King Aj_ta_atru S_tra (Skt. Aj_ta_atrukauk_tyavinodana, Taish_ No. 626) presents the process whereby bodhisattva Ma–ju_r_ helped King Aj_ta_atru to see the emptiness of all phenomenal existence and the original purity of mind. Through attaining these insights, the king overcame his doubts about his fate and received assurance of his eventual buddhahood. The S_tra on King Aj_ta_atru's Questions on the Five Heinous Crimes (Taish_ No. 508) presents the process whereby the king will overcome his doubts by attaining rootless faith (granted to him by the Buddha) rather than through the realisation of emptiness. The S_tra on King Aj_ta_atru's Reception of his Prediction (Taish_ No. 509) sees the king receive his assurance of buddhahood not while the Buddha is in the world, but rather by offering to him after he entered nirv__a. It Thus emphasises the transcendent nature of the Buddha's manifestation in the world. The S_tra on the Flower Pickers (Taish_ No. 510) presents a variation on the previous s_tra where the Buddha has not yet entered nirv__a.
Our sincere wish is that readers will find these s_tra translations a fascinating and valuable addition to their understanding of Buddhism and the redemption of those who have committed grave evils.

Surprisingly good shirt for the price
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: White, Size: XX-Large
I’m generally pleased with my purchase. I got a 2XL because the website it would fit my neck. Around the waist it fit similar to Amazon Essentials work shirts (like mechanics use which I find comfortable). It was snug around the waist when sitting, but I can’t complain because I have a belly. I did find the neck snug when buttoning the top button so it means the neck is 18 or 18.5 and I wear a 19/19.5 to have 1-2 fingers space in the collar. The shirt is surprisingly thick like Amazon’s work shirts, much thicker than other dress shirts from another brand. And I am pleased that this shirt has button holes like other Amazon shirts does, all vertical button holes except the last one at the bottom which is horizontal. That feature keeps the shirt from unbuttoning itself during daily movement at the office. A very nice feature! I was a little disappointed in how it was packaged however but I have to press and wash it anyway.

Comparable to high end mens shops!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Blue, Size: Large
Beautiful, heavy blue Oxford comparable to upper end mens store at 75% less! Full cut, great for casual wear or sending out for professional starching. Downside, no pocket, but I had mine monogramed wear the pocket would be and it looks like an expensive dress shirt. I bought more (with pockets) in blue & white
