Baralam and Yewasef is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge that presents the Ethiopic version of a Christianized retelling of the legend of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva. The book is a translation of an ancient Ethiopian text that tells the story of two brothers, Baralam and Yewasef, who are sent on a mission to convert the people of India to Christianity. Along the way, they encounter the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, and engage in a series of debates and discussions with them about the nature of religion, morality, and spirituality. The book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of Christianity and Buddhism, and provides insights into the religious and cultural history of Ethiopia and India. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in comparative religion, history, or philosophy.1923.
