The Life of Buddha

Subtitle: Originally Written in the First Century, A.D.

Author: Asvaghosha

This may be the oldest known story of the complete life of Buddha, having been written in the first century AD. The author was an educated ecclesiastic Buddhist who traveled throughout India collecting stories and traditions relating to the Buddha’s life. He was a famous preacher and musician who then wove them into a Sanskrit poem which he performed musically during his travels. It holds many facts that other stories of the Buddha don’t have, which makes this work so important. The entire epic is preserved in this rare book, long out of print, which may have otherwise been lost to the western world if not reprinted.
