The Life of Buddha as Legend and History (Paperback)

Compiled from rare sources, this scholarly work offers a fascinating examination of the lore surrounding the life of Buddha. From his ancestry, birth, and youth to his final days, it chronicles Buddha's preaching, his 20 years' wandering, the establishment of rival schools of philosophy, and much more--including thought-provoking perspectives on Buddhism as religion and philosophy, plus its associations with myth, history, and Christianity. "We would recommend this important work to all interested in Eastern philosophy."--"Spectator."
