Praise for David Kherdian’s The Buddha
Kherdian . . . pens a simple, lyrical biography of Buddha suited for all ages. The Buddha’s life is the stuff of legends, and this telling is mythopoeic rather than dully historical or biographical. . . .If the goal is to humanize an eminent spiritual leader from another time and place, the book succeeds. . . . it is an accessible introduction to the life of the Buddha for general readers wanting a taste of a legendary life story.
