About The Book:
This biography of Gautama Buddha takes the reader through the profound and transformative journey of Prince Siddhartha to becoming the revered Tathagata, also known as the Buddha. The novel chronicles his life, from his early royal existence, as a prince shielded from the harsh realities of life, to his decision to leave his opulent home in search of the ultimate truth.

The narrative explores his struggles and wanderings after leaving his family, the immense spiritual challenges he faces, and the period of intense meditation and self-discovery, during which he ultimately uncovers the true essence of life. This truth becomes the foundation of Buddhism – the Dhamma – and the establishment of the Bhikkhu Sangha (monastic community).

The novel intricately portrays the dramatic events of Buddha's life, shedding light on both his inner conflicts and his outer struggles as he shares his knowledge with the world. As Buddha's teachings spread across the land and beyond, the story delves into his retirement and the final years of his life, where his message continues to shape the future of countless followers.

Through vivid storytelling and philosophical insights, this epic novel offers a detailed vision of the life and teachings of Buddha, making it both a narrative journey and an exploration of one of the world's greatest spiritual leaders and his profound influence on humanity.
