The Life of the Buddha (Penguin Classics)

The Life of the Buddha (Penguin Classics)

A blueprint for a life of mindfulness, dedicated to the easing of suffering both for oneself and for others

The story of Shakyamuni Buddhaâ€™s epic journey to enlightenment is perhaps the most important narrative in the Buddhist tradition. Tenzin ChÃ¶gyelâ€™sThe Life of the Buddha, composed in the midâ€“eighteenth century and now in a vivid new translation, is a masterly storytellerâ€™s rendition of the twelve acts of the Buddha. ChÃ¶gyelâ€™s classical tale seamlessly weaves together the vast and the minute, the earthly and the celestial, reflecting the near-omnipresent aid of the gods alongside the Buddhaâ€™s moving final reunion with his devoted son, Rahula.Â The Life of the BuddhaÂ has the power to engage people through a deeply human story with cosmic implications.
