King Suddhodana was at his wit's end. He had surrounded his handsome young heir with comfort and riches, love and respect, but Prince Siddhartha was still not content. One night, the prince abandoned his family. Exchanging his royal robes for a begging bowl, his luxurious palace for the shade of a tree, Siddhartha lived the life of an ascetic to seek the ultimate truth about life and suffering. H…

Buddha A little comic book on the life of buddha. I have read so much about Buddha and his teachings. And this comic book was really beautiful. Somehow, comics give a pleasure that is unique - different from books and movies, and still beautiful in their own way.

Available here: https://archive.org/details/Buddha-Co... This was interesting - ties together some of the stories about the Buddha and his life. However it is really a biography style comic and doesn't delve into the teachings and philosophy of Buddhism as much as I hoped.

Thanks Anant Pai for bringing the complex philosophies in brief and concise manner! Did all these happen? Are we sure? About the philosophy, I do agree with quite few things, especially after when I have visited viharas in Ramu, Cox's Bazar and enjoyed the unparalleled tranquility!

As someone who teaches religions, i have always been fascinated by The Buddha, or the enlightened one. His teachings, his lifelong dedication towards helping people overcome sorrow and pain is something to live by. Amar Chitra Katha outlines his life and important events in it beautifully, although i do feel the ending was slightly rushed. Still, nothing to not love.

"Buddha" comic was pretty okayish to me. His original name was Siddhartha and was born to king Suddhodana and queen Mayadevi. His birthplace was Lumbini which is now a Buddhist pilgrimage site in Nepal. Sage Asita had predicted that he would grow up to be either a king or a saint. As the years passed by, one could see positive behavioural traits of Siddhartha. For instance, he couldn't bear the pain of a bird which was wounded due to the actions of his evil cousin Devadatta. His wife was Yashodhara and both of them had a son named Rahula. One day, Siddhartha was in his chariot and he was accompanied by Channa. He observed the miseries of people outside his palace and felt sorry for them. Then, he came to the conclusion that he would give up the life of worldly pleasures and contemplate on finding the ways to end sorrow from his mind. He contemplated on finding the truth in his life. He used to sit beneath the tree and led an ascetic life. He freed himself from the desires of life to attain freedom. Lord Buddha exhibited many positive behavioural traits like benevolence, kindness, simplicity and sincerity. But the presentation of his story seemed okay to me.
