This may be the oldest known story of the complete life of Buddha,
having been written in the first century AD. The author was an
educated ecclesiastic Buddhist who traveled throughout India
collecting stories and traditions relating to the Buddha's life. He
was a famous preacher and musician who then wove them into a
Sanskrit poem which he performed musically during his travels. The
people of India delighted in this magical tale whenever it was
performed with the choir of musicians who traveled with him. It
holds many facts that other biographies or stories of the Buddha
don't have, which makes this work so important. The entire epic is
preserved in this rare book, long out of print, which may have
otherwise been lost to the western world.
