About the Book
Taking a different perspective from the usual biographies of the Buddha, the author recalls the great man's story using the society of his time as the backdrop and the Buddha;s interactions with his contemporaries as the main theme. We discover What the Buddha was like as a person, how he taught ans how he changed the lives of those who were blessed enough to come into contact with him.
