Wie Siddhartha zum Buddha wurde

Thich Nhat Hanh's novelistic biography of Buddha serves as a brilliant introduction to Buddhism. In vivid imagery, the renowned Zen master narrates the life story of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. He portrays him not as a mythical, supernatural being, but as a relatable human who touches us and realizes his full potential: after many years of spiritual searching, Siddhartha becomes the Buddha, the "Awakened One." Thich Nhat Hanh, alongside the Dalai Lama, is one of the most recognized representatives of Buddhism in the West. In this extraordinary biography, he skillfully intertwines the life and teachings of the Buddha with an introduction to the Buddhist mindset, presenting the key wisdom teachings of Buddhism in a simple and accessible manner. He draws from texts of all Buddhist schools, making this biography a cross-traditional standard work. "This book makes it clear why Buddhism fascinates more and more people today, here in the West." - Wegweiser Magazine.
