Synopsis
Karen Armstrong turns from her typical subject matter of the three major monotheistic religions toward the life and times of Siddhatha Gotama. Though this man--whose teachings and example underpin Buddhist spirituality--led a life that was largely undocumented, Armstrong's book renders a complete story of the genesis of Buddhism.

Publisher's Note
The author of The Battle for God and other works on religion focuses her attention on the Buddha, retracing his life from prince to savior of humankind, in a philosophical portrait that offers an illuminating look at how his life and path to spiritual enlightenment spawned one of the great religions of the world. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"While BUDDHA doesn't pretend to offer a comprehensive introduction to the Buddha's thought, there's a surprising quantity of information and insight in its 200 pages. Armstrong makes this extraordinary man, one of the most influential who ever lived, and his ideas more understandable by letting us see, for example, how his emphasis on using questions to seek the truths we already know mirrors the techniques of Socrates. And yet Armstrong doesn't shrink form defining the gulf between Buddha's spiritual vision and the one that saturates Western culture. This scintillating interplay of similarity and difference makes for fascinating, fertile reading. For a biography of someone who wasn't there, it's quite an achievement."
Salon - Laura Miller (04/18/2001)

"[A] concise but admirably comprehensive study...."
Literary Review - Mike Brown (04/20/2001)

"[A] nontraditional blend of history and philosophy....This is an excellent primer for students of religion or others interested in spiritual growth."
