DESCRIPTION:
Master piece about the Life of Gautama Buddha A Customer I call this gem of a book "Master piece" not because of it's scholastic value, but because of the way it so beautifully captures the essence of Buddhism and it's founder Gautama Shakyamuni.

With great clarity, the author brings out the modes of life the sense of values, the technique of meditation, and the daily life of the Lord Buddha
