In Gotama Buddha, Professor Hajime Nakamura embarks on a search for the details of the historical Buddha's life. He conducts an exhaustive analysis of both the oldest, most reliable texts and later biographies of the Buddha that contain mythological material. Carefully sifting these texts to separate facts from embellishments, he constructs a biography that begins with the Indian historical context at the time of Buddha's Birth and takes the reader through all the stages of his life. Professor Nakamura also compares the oldest Buddhist texts with the earliest Jain and Hindu writings and finds surprising similarities that elucidate the significance of the historical Buddha. Archeological discoveries and factual elements from Buddhist art support Professor Nakamura's fascinating story. This is the first of two volumes; The second will be printed at a later date.

Osamu Tezuka's vaunted storytelling genius, consummate skill at visual expression, and warm humanity blossom fully in his eight-volume epic of Siddhartha's life and times. Tezuka evidences his profound grasp of the subject by contextualizing the Buddha's ideas; the emphasis is on movement, action, emotion, and conflict as the prince Siddhartha runs away from home, travels across India, and questions Hindu practices such as ascetic self-mutilation and caste oppression. Rather than recommend resignation and impassivity, Tezuka's Buddha predicates enlightenment upon recognizing the interconnectedness of life, having compassion for the suffering, and ordering one's life sensibly. Philosophical segments are threaded into interpersonal situations with ground-breaking visual dynamism by an artist who makes sure never to lose his readers' attention. Tezuka himself was a humanist rather than a Buddhist, and his magnum opus is not an attempt at propaganda. Hermann Hesse's novel or Bertolucci's film is comparable in this regard; in fact, Tezuka's approach is slightly irreverent in that it incorporates something that Western commentators often eschew, namely, humor.

Whereas Western intellectuals seek the essence of Buddhism in its doctrines and meditation practices, the traditional Buddhists of Asia absorb the ideas and values of their spiritual heritage through its rich narrative literature about the Buddha and his disciples. The most popular collection of Buddhist stories is, without doubt, the Jatakas. These are the stories of the Buddha's past births, relating his experiences as he passed from life to life on the way to becoming a Buddha. At times he takes the form of a bird, at times he is born as a hare, a monkey, a prince, a merchant, or an ascetic, but in each case he uses the challenges he meets to grow in generosity, virtue, patience, wisdom, and compassion.This anthology of Jatakas, ably told by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki, remains faithful to the original yet presents the stories in clear and simple language. It thereby makes the Jatakas accessible even to young readers and to those for whom English is not their first language.

Description: The two most remarkable facts about Buddhism are: it has almost ceased to exist in India-the land of its birth, while claiming about 255 million adherents in other parts of Asia; its founder Siddhartha, more well-known as Gautama Buddha, paid no importance to ceremonies and rituals, did not say a word on the supremacy of one God, yet people flocked to him and became his disciple. Even today its popularity is on the increase. What exactly is this ageless and timeless appeal of Buddhism? A.K. Coomaraswamy and I.B. Horner have given the answer in this book-The Living Thoughts ofGotama The Buddha. Commencing with the life sketch of the great teacher, they take up every aspect of his teaching for clear elucidation. All students of religion, especially those interested in Buddhist studies, shall find this book extremely useful.

Excerpt from Gotama Buddha: A Biography, Based on the Canonical Books of the Theravādin The style carries the thought with limpid ease and at times ripples with genial humor. Attention is purposely focused upon the life of Gotama, with only incidental references to the Teaching and the Order, but fortunately these subjects are fully set forth in Mr. Saunder's earlier studies, "The Story of Buddhism" and "Buddhist Ideals," as well as in many standard works. Buddhism has well-nigh died out in Gotama's own country and the forms which prevail in Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan would hardly be recognized by the founder himself. Yet his example and teaching, however distorted, are the nucleus around which all the later encrustations have formed. Just as the Christian Church has dug down through the layers of scholastic dialectic and replanted its pillars on Christ, so it is not inconceivable that even Northern Buddhism may rediscover its founder and cry, "Back to Gotama Buddha." It was a Japanese disciple of Gotama who called him "a king of the spiritual in the mask of beggary," and it is to be hoped that this volume will find readers also in Japan, for although there are several lives of Buddha written in Japanese, no one of them so happily as this combines a popular presentation with the results of recent historical criticism. Although Mr. Saunders discloses warm admiration for Gotama's character, as a faithful friend he points out his shortcomings and his fatal inability to rise above the limitations of his age. It would seem that Gotama himself realized to some degree his own limitations. Like other prophetic souls, he looked for the coming of a Buddha greater than himself, who should be called Maitri. Mr. Saunders's fine poem, "St. Francis and Gotama," shows true insight when it represents Gotama as joyfully recognizing that in Christ his highest hopes regarding Maitri had been fully realized. Mr. Saunders might well have called his work, "The Gotama of History," for it is not an unworthy companion to Doctor Glover's notable volume on One greater than Gotama. Christian readers will not be surprised to find that Mr. Saunders's exhaustive and appreciative study of Gotama seems to have heightened his supreme devotion to Jesus Christ.
