Whilst many accounts of the Buddha's life mix legend and history, this compelling new biography discriminates between fact and fiction to reveal Guatama, the remarkable human being behind the myth, and sheds new light on his teachings.

Plunging us into the noises, smells and jostling streets of Guatama's world, Vishvapani  Bloomfield brings the Buddha to life as a passionate and determined individual -  a striking modern figure who rejected contemporary beliefs and found his own answers by mastering his mind.

Even after He gained enlightenment and became the Buddha, Guatama experienced struggles as well as triumphs as he trod India's dusty paths..

He sought to establish a community of practitioners amid his society's divided culture and perilous politics, and how the ideas that became the Buddhist teachings grew from Gautama's efforts to address the needs and beliefs of his listeners.

Drawing on years of meticilious research into original sources, Guatama Buddha takes us to within touching distance of one of history's greatest figures.
