A fictional dialogue based on biographical facts

Bord Siddhartha Gautama 2,500 years ago, the Buddha would become one of the world's greatest spiritual leaders. As the teacher of "the middle way", he devised the Eightfold Path to enlightenment, leading to the Four Noble Truths - a set of ideologies and practices to rid the mind of corruption, with a view to compose one's desires and send one on the path to nirvana. The Awakened One's teachings show us how to deal with our emotions and cravings, and find inner peace in spite of them.

This fictionalised conversation, imagined by one of the world's leading experts on Budhism, presents the essential biography of its famously wise founder. In this relaxed chat, the Buddha tells us what he thought about impermanence, karma, mindfulness, compassion, love, and everything else that leads us toward a true understanding of the cosmos and ourselves.
