The story of Buddha's life is timeless and is as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago when Buddha was alive. Illustrated in full color, The Story of Buddha depicts major events from Buddha's life that demonstrate how we also can develop kindness and compassion within ourselves. In this way we can eventually fulfill our own wishes as well as the wishes of all our friends. Few can fail to be inspired by this powerful story.
