Olcott's biographic account of The Buddha combines experience and
wisdom when introducing his life to a Western audience. While
brief, Olcott's examination of the holy prophet's life is as vivid
and fresh today as it was when it was published. Widely circulated,
this account was responsible for introducing many otherwise
knowledgeable scholars to the origins of Buddhism and the
principles of the faith. The truth behind Gautama Buddha's early
life, the time in which he lived, and the effect he had upon the
religious life of India and the Eastern regions is detailed. Olcott
first presents a series of facts about the founding sage, and then
examines further the principles of the Buddhist religion. The key
differences, such as the lack of a God figure and the notion of
enlightenment and self-sacrifice as being a path to Nirvana, are
noted as contrasting Buddhists to the other major world religions.
