"The life and teachings of the Buddha as a story. Thich Nhat Hanh traces the Buddha's life slowly and gently over the course of 80 years, partly through the eyes of Svasti, the buffalo boy and partly through the Buddha himself. From the author:
""I have not avoided including the various difficulties the Buddha encountered, both from his own disciples and in relation to the wider society. If the Buddha appears in this book as a man close to us, it is partly due to recounting such difficulites.""
Beautifully written, this story format allows us to see the teachings and events of the Buddha's life in context, which, for many, is a more engaging way to learn. To those who love Nhat Hanh's poetic style, this will be a treasured book.
