Drawn directly from 24 Pali, Sanskrit, and Chinese sources, and retold by Thich Nhat Hanh in his inimitably beautiful style, this book traces the Buddha's life slowly and gently over the course of 80 years, partly through the eyes of Svasti, the buffalo boy, and partly through the yes of the Buddha himself. <i>Old Path White Clouds</i> is destined to become a classic of religious literature. <p/><i>I have not avoided including the various difficulties the Buddha encountered, both from his own disciples and in relation to the wider society. If the Buddha appears in this book as a man close to us, it is partly due to recounting such difficulties.</i> - from the author's Afterword.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>THICH NHAT HANH is one of the most revered and influential spiritual teachers in the world today.
