Gotama Buddha, Vol. 1

by Hajime Nakamura

In this book the author conducts an exhaustive analysis of both the oldest, most reliable texts and later biographies of the Buddha that contain mythological material. Carefully sifting these texts to separate facts from embellishments, he constructs a biography from the Buddha’s birth through all the stages of his life.
