Anagatavamsa Desana: The Sermon of the Chronicle-to-be (Buddhist Tradition)(HB) | Author – Udaya Meddegama (Author), John Clifford Holt (Author)| MLBD Publications

This Sinhala recension of the Anagatavamsa, here translated into English for the first time, is but one of several texts forming a genre of Buddhist apocalyptic literature generated by the cult of Maitreya in South and South-east Asia. It is a prophetic text revealing a rich religious imagination focused upon the advent of the future Buddha in a time when those who have long persevered in the religious quest will gain an opportunity to realize the highest spiritual attainment.
