A blueprint for a life of mindfulness, dedicated to the easing of suffering both
for oneself and for others
The story of Shakyamuni Buddha's epic journey to enlightenment is perhaps the
most important narrative in the Buddhist tradition. Tenzin Chögyel'sThe Life of
the Buddha , composed in the mid-eighteenth century and now in a vivid new
translation, is a masterly storyteller's rendition of the twelve acts of the
Buddha. Chögyel's classical tale seamlessly weaves together the vast and the
minute, the earthly and the celestial, reflecting the near-omnipresent aid of
the gods alongside the Buddha's moving final reunion with his devoted son,
Rahula. The Life of the Buddha has the power to engage people through a deeply
human story with cosmic implications.
