The life of the Buddha is more than an account of one man’s quest for realization of truth. It is also about the people who encountered the Buddha during his forty-five years career. It is the story of how their encounter transformed the disciples and influenced the world around them.
If the Buddha’s quest and his disciples is set against the background of the world in which these events were aclid out, a world with its unique customs, its politics and its religious ferment, it becomes one of the most fascinating stories ever told.
