Gautama Buddha: In Life and Legend Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 18 ratings

A “reverential and revealing” biography of Siddhartha, the ancient Indian spiritual teacher upon whose teachings Buddhism was founded (Kirkus Reviews).

The legendary story of Gautama Buddha, told by Betty Kelen in this riveting book, captures the essence of both a man and a spirit. His teachings, characterized by a mystical eastern folklore and an inspirational wisdom, have never been matched by anyone else in history. They are marked by determination and a quest for the sacred, and led him to an enlightenment that shaped the foundation of many Eastern civilizations.

Top review from the United States

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018
Buy It! Before its too late. Clearly one of the best books about Buddha I know of. Easy to understand and keenly separates fact from fiction. Highly recommend this book and hope it is always available to the public.
