The story of Shakyamuni Buddha's epic journey to enlightenment is perhaps the most important narrative in the Buddhist tradition. Tenzin Chogyel's 'The Life of the Buddha', composed in the mid-18th century and now with a new translation, is a masterly storyteller's rendition of the twelve acts of the Buddha. Chogyel's classical tale seamlessly weaves together the vast and the minute, the earthly and the celestial, reflecting the near-omnipresent aid of the gods alongside the Buddha's moving final reunion with his devoted son, Rahula.
