Like Jesus and Muhammad, the Buddha is one of the most significant figures in history. But is he a historical figure? In this revelatory book, Donald S. Lopez, Jr. explores this question and considers what is at stake in the answer. Using stories of the Buddha’s life – drawn from the earliest biographies, the work of other scholars, and his own research – Lopez traces a single narrative from the Buddha’s birth to his enlightenment to his passage into nirvana.
