  Although the Buddha's biography is overlaid with legend, scholars accept that the founder of Buddhism was a historical figure named Siddhartha Gautama, born into a Hindu warrior caste around 566 BC. At the age of 29 he set out to find a solution to the problem of suffering. Eventually he sat down under a tree and vowed to remain there until he realized the truth. Drawing on traditional sources, the author of this book has created a retelling of this classic story for a contemporary audience. Filled with stories of wisdom and compassion, this tale offers inspiration and insight to spiritual seekers of all traditions.
