Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
From his many births to his deathbed deeds, this authoritative
biography unites the Buddha of history with the Buddha of legend in
a bid to reveal the lasting spiritual relevance at the heart of the
Buddhist tradition. Acclaimed scholar John Strong examines not only
the historical texts, but also the supernatural accounts that
surround this great religious figure, uncovering the roots of many
Buddhist beliefs and practices. Accompanied by helpful charts and
tables, and drawing on a vast array of primary sources, the text
also features such key topics as: biographical accounts from all
the Buddhist schools, an analysis of the Buddha's enlightenment,
the life of the Buddha as depicted by Buddhist art and rituals, and
the relics of Siddhartha Gautama, and how they continue his story,
even after his lifetime.
