ABOUT THE BOOK : The Agganna Sutta, Digha Nikaya 27, is one of a few texts of central importance for elucidating the cosmological vision of early Buddhism. In this dialogue the Buddha lays out his vision of the origins and natural history of life on Earth, and the beginnings of human society and the state. This is the basic message Dr. Sugunasiri seeks to convey this in his study.
