About The Book: Bimala Churn Law’s *Geography of Early Buddhism* (1932) systematically collects and analyses the geographical places mentioned in early Buddhist texts—Pāli Canon, Jātakas, Asokan inscriptions and other sources. It divides India into traditional regions (“five Indies”): Majjhimadesa (Middle Country), Uttarāpatha (North), Aparānta (West), Dakkhiṇāpatha (South), Prācya (East), and also treats Ceylon, Burma and other countries where Buddhism spread. Under each region he describes boundaries, towns, rivers, lakes, mountains, forests, buddhist sites (vihāras, ārāmas, cetiyās etc.). Though some identifications are dated, the book remains a key reference for understanding the physical and cultural landscape of early Buddhism. About The Author: Bimala Churn Law’s (1892-1969) *Heaven and Hell in Buddhist Perspective* explores the cosmological and ethical dimensions of Buddhist thought concerning post-death realms. Drawing on canonical texts, he explains how Buddhist heavens (such as the realms of the devas and Brahmās) and hells (Naraka) are not eternal but are results of karma—moral actions in past lives. Law emphasizes the symbolic and psychological significance of these realms, showing how they reflect inner states of consciousness. He also compares Buddhist notions with those in Hinduism and Jainism, highlighting the unique moral framework of Buddhism centered on impermanence, rebirth, and the path to liberation.
