The Legend of Queen Cama

Bodhiramsi’s Camadevivamsa

A Translation and Commentary

Donald K. Swearer and Sommai Premchit

SUNY Press, $19.95

A Pali chronicle from early fifteenth-century Thailand, translated and contextualized by a Thai-American team of two scholars. The seventh-century Queen Cama’s founding of the Haripunjaya dynasty is set against a parallel account of the Buddha’s journey to the northern Thai kingdom over which it held sway. Political and religious narratives interwoven in the Pali text yield a densely textured portrait of a historic moment in the flowering of Buddhism in Southeast Asia.

Becoming a Child of the Buddhas

A Simple Clarification of the Root Verses of Seven Point Mind Training

Gomo Tulku, translated by Joan Nicell
