Deepak Chopra Presents: Buddha - A Story of Enlightnment (Hardcover)

from cherylscountry

I enjoyed this fictional account of Buddah's life from childhood to enlightenment. The writing was good and enjoyable. Since I knew little about the Buddah's life I enjoyed reading about it in entertaining story. However I really did not get a solid understanding of Buddism.

A clear cut and straight-forward story of the enlightenment of Buddha. I'll read anything by Deepak Chopra. And this one shouldn't be missed.

from GTTexas

An interesting and educational read that kept me engrossed from start to finish. I look forward to reading others in Chopra's series of "biographies". One of a dozen or so I read on a Mediterranean cruise.

"Through the eyes of Buddha, the root of suffering is illusion, and the only way out of illusion is to stop believing in the separate self and the world that supports the separate self. No spiritual message has ever been so radical. None remains so terribly urgent." quote from page 221.

This was fun. Chopra's narration was a bit uneven sometimes on the audio book, some odd rhythms in his speech at times, but enjoyable overall. The afterward that deals a bit with Buddhist practice I may have enjoyed even more than the novel itself.
