This compelling new biography discriminates between fact and fiction to reveal Gautama, the remarkable human being behind the legends, and shed new light on his teachings.
Plunging us into the noise, smells and jostling streets of Gautama's world, Vishvapani Blomfield brings the Buddha to life as a passionate and determined individual — a strikingly modern figure who rejected contemporary beliefs and found his own answers by mastering his mind.
Even after he gained Enlightenment and became the Buddha 'the Awakened One' Gautama experienced struggles as well as triumphs as he trod India's dusty paths. Vishvapani shows how he sought to establish a community of practitioners amid his society's divided culture and perilous politics and how the ideas that became the Buddhist teachings grew from Gautama's efforts to address the needs and beliefs of his listeners.

For six years he practiced the ascetic discipline, denying himself the most basic of indulgences such as food and water nearly to the point of death. This he did in an effort to better understand human suffering and to discover the meaning of life. During this time, he also investigated beliefs of all kinds and immersed himself in meditation and study.
He was so dedicated to the ascetic lifestyle that five other ascetics with whom he practiced became his devout followers. One day, a young girl offered him a bowl of rice and Siddhartha accepted. He ate the rice, drank water and bathed in the Nairanjana river. His actions disenchanted his five followers who promptly left him. From his experience as an ascetic, he learned that a balance should be sought instead of a life of extremism. Egli cominciava scoraggiarsi. Sapendo che cosa I needed a breath of timeless wisdom, which I used to attend more often in the past.
Sapendo che cosa gli stava succedendo, il Buddha gli fece visita. I've had this book for almost 20 years. It's been in a box for 10 yrs following a few moves due to changes in life. I recently found it and finally read it. I have been studying the Dharma and practicing in that time.
Reading the life story of the Buddha was a wonderful reminder of what one can achieve. It starts from before he was born as prince Siddharta, to his death as Guatama Buddha, the enlightened one. All the magic and legend is included in this telling of his life.

This book gave me fuller understand of what Buddha went through; background and life of Buddha. However, just like another books, this book alone does not paint the complete picture of what is Buddhism or Buddhist way of life.
So, this book paved the way for me to meditate deeper on my own life and all that's in the universe. I don't have the book but I'm thinking of buying one.
