About the Book:-This book is the outcome of a series of articles written by the author at different periods to various journals. The first few chapters deal with the ‘Life of the Buddha’ in his own words. The commentarial explanations are given in foot notes. Very often the lives of great spiritual teachers are either exaggerated by over-zealous followers or distorted, by prejudiced writers. Here one will find the simple but the noble life of the greatest religious Teacher, free from such exaggeration and distortion. The remaining few chapters deal with the Dhamma—the Teachings of the Buddha. The narrator has tried, his best to present the fundamental teachings of Buddhism in the simplest language possible, so that the book may also serve as a Buddhist text book for children. This elementary book is not intended to satisfy critical scholars. Nor he has written it as a scholar but as a humble student who is expected, not only to study the Dhamma intelligently, but also to practice sincerely and diligently what little he has learnt from books and saintly teacher. This book sees the light when men’s hearts are torn with doubt, when the gods of the theistic faiths have gone asleep, and abandoned men to exploit to the full their hard-won fruit of research and science in a mad orgy of warring nations lusting for world-dominion.
