The life story of Gautama Buddha is a sort of sacred drama, that of a person as well as a spirit. It has all the colour and mysticism of oriental folklore, and records the simplicity and sublime determination of a man who had attained Enlightenment.
Betty Kelen's captivating book tells the story of Guatama Buddha simply and beautifully. His life blossoms like a lotus above the murky water, like a refreshing stream flowing through the dense and indifferent world. This book shows why the life and teachings of Guatama Buddha have become the inspiration of many Eastern civilisations.
