Description
Immerse yourself in the story of Siddhartha Gautama, the man who would become the Buddha, in this richly woven narrative by Deepak Chopra. Buddha breathes life into ancient India’s cultural landscape—palaces of Lumbini, monastic forests of Bodh Gaya, and the pivotal moment beneath the bodhi tree when a single insight shattered the chains of suffering.
Chopra’s lyrical prose illuminates each stage of Siddhartha’s journey: from the sheltered prince appalled by human pain, through the austere life of a wandering ascetic, to the radiant serenity that followed his all-night vigil. Along the way, Chopra weaves in core Buddhist teachings—impermanence (anicca), suffering (dukkha), and non-self (anatta)—making them accessible to modern seekers.
Beyond the life story, Buddha offers practical meditations and reflections. You’ll learn how to:
-
Observe your thoughts without attachment
-
Cultivate loving-kindness (metta) toward yourself and others
-
Find stillness in the present moment
This edition features a foreword by a renowned scholar of Eastern philosophy, illustrative maps of ancient trade routes, and a guided journaling section to deepen your practice. Perfect for both first-time readers of spiritual classics and devoted practitioners, Buddha is more than a book—it’s a doorway to transformation.
