Description

Over two thousand years ago, Gautama the Buddha was born in Lumbini. Born the son of a King, he renounced all worldly pleasures in the search for truth and enlightenment.

This book brings together images of that search, carefully selected from thousands of pictures that retrace His path across northern India, including places such as Sarnath and Gaya. Art objects, monasteries, places and people form an unforgettable kaleidoscope, radiant and compassionate, of an ancient wisdom which is a powerful contemporary faith.
