"Buddhist mythology" as a book category covers the myths, legends, cosmologies, and symbolic narratives that have grown up around the Buddha, bodhisattvas, deities, spirits, and the Buddhist world-view across different cultures and historical periods. It includes retellings and analyses of canonical stories such as the Jataka tales (previous lives of the Buddha) and accounts of the Buddha’s life, as well as later folk legends, cosmological maps (realms of gods, humans, animals, hells), tantric and Mahayana narratives about bodhisattvas and celestial Buddhas, and regional mythic adaptations found in Tibetan, Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Himalayan traditions. Books in this category range from scholarly studies and comparative mythology to popular retellings, illustrated collections, and examinations of how these stories function in ritual, art, ethics, and cultural identity, often overlapping with religion, folklore, history, and cultural studies.
