The Awakened One
By Sherab Chodzin Kohn. 153 pg., 6" x 9" paperback. The Buddha's
life story is a universal tale of the awakening of consciousness. The founder
of Buddhism was a prince named Siddhartha Gautama. He led a sheltered life
of ease until the age of twenty-nine, when he set out on a journey of discovery.
His goal was to overcome suffering and death - and he actually did so, in
that moment under the Bodhi Tree when he became the Buddha, "The Awakened
One." A blend of legend and history, this ancient tale offers inspiration
and insight to spiritual seekers of all traditions. |
