Plunging us into the noises, smells and jostling streets of Gautamas world, Vishvapani Blomfield brings the Buddha to life as a passionate and determined individual - a strikingly modern figure who rejected contemporary beliefs and found his own answers by mastering his mind. Even after he gained enlightenment and became the Buddha (the "Awakened One"), Gautama experienced struggles as well as triumphs as he trod Indias dusty paths. Vishvapani shows how he sought to establish a community of practitioners amid his societys divided culture and perilous politics and how the ideas that became the Buddhist teachings grew from Gautamas efforts to address the needs and beliefs of his listeners. Drawing on years of meticulous research into original sources, Gautama Buddha takes us to within touching distance of one of historys greatest figures. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
