Sobre este título

 Today the Buddha is honoured throughout the world as one of the great religious figures in the history of humankind. In this authoritative biography, John Strong presents the story of Siddhartha Gautama the way Buddhists have told it – from accounts of his previous lives, and the story of his birth and upbringing, through to his enlightenment, deathbed deeds, and ongoing presence in the relics that he left behind. Along the way, Strong explores the roots of key Buddhist beliefs and practices, making this volume not only a useful study of the life of the Buddha, but a helpful introduction to Buddhism as a whole.©2001 John Strong (1st Edn).

Resumo da Crítica

“Among the many biographies of the Buddha available to the general reader, John Strong’s remains the best. It draws from a vast body of sources with sensitivity and insight to paint a fascinating portrait of a towering figure.” (Donald S Lopez – Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies, University of Michigan)
“Strong’s book is clearly the best available guide for beginners … But it will be of great interest for veteran Buddhist scholars; and for contemporary Buddhist practitioners as well.” (Frank Reynolds, Professor Emeritus of History of Religions and Buddhist Studies, University of Chicago)

Resumo editorial

The Buddha's life journey laid the foundations for his philosophy of Buddhism, and this primer from Bates College Professor of Religious Studies John S. Strong provides listeners with a thorough overview of his existence. Narrator Andrea Powell's smooth and confident delivery makes this audiobook a pleasure to listen to, and audiences will enjoy her calm manner as she discusses the Buddha's life story, quest, enlightenment, the practice of perfections, fasting, and more. Concise and engrossing, this account of the great sage's life is excellent listening for anyone yearning for a greater understanding of Buddhist philosophy.
