Description
Old Path White Clouds presents the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. Drawn directly from 24 Pali, Sanskrit, and Chinese sources, and retold by Thich Nhat Hanh in his inimitably beautiful style, this book traces the Buddha's life slowly and gently over the course of 80 years, partly through the eyes of Svasti, the buffalo boy, and partly through the eyes of the Buddha himself. Old Path White Clouds is destined to become a classic of religious literature. "I have not avoided including the various difficulties the Buddha encountered, both from his own disciples and in relation to the wider society. If the Buddha appears in this hook as a man close to us, it is partly due to recounting such difficulties." --from the author's afterword

A gem of a book
Thich Nhat Hanh's is one of the best known authors on Buddhism and this book is an example of his exceptionally wonderful writing skills. Once I started reading, I just couldn't keep the book away because it is so engaging and engrossing. There are so many books on this topic and many of them tell the history very well but this book actually takes you through the paths and periods of Buddha. Thai (Thich Nhat Hanh's ) made many of the esoteric teaching simple and easy to understand. The book...

Poetic!!
It is a beautiful book, full of graceful prose and and poetic description. A genuine biography of the Buddha it is a life story inter-weaved with buddhist teachings.
I would however warn the reader... you need to be calm, peaceful and in compassionate mind to truly enjoy this book. A typical cynical mind of today will not get the underlying peace of the read without at first calming itself.
