Book Summary
In this superbly illustrated book, Patricia Herbert draws on manuscript sources from Burma--one of the most strongly Buddist countries in the world today--to tell the story of Buddha's life as it has evolved over the centuries, incorporating legends, miracles, and local variations. Features 30 double-page color illustrations. 62 full-color reproductions. Casebound. One of the world's great religions, Buddhism claims hundreds of millions of followers. It was created and inspired by Prince Siddhattha, who preached in India more than 2,500 years ago and became known as the Buddha (the enlightened one). Buddhist teachings are an important part of many Asian cultures, and scenes of events in the Buddha's life are depicted in sculpture and paintings in Buddhist temples and manuscripts.
