Publisher's Summary

Old Path White Clouds presents the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. Drawn directly from 24 Pali, Sanskrit, and Chinese sources, and retold by Thich Nhat Hanh in his inimitably beautiful style, this book traces the Buddha's life slowly and gently over the course of 80 years, partly through the eyes of Svasti, the buffalo boy, and partly through the eyes of the Buddha himself. Old Path White Clouds is destined to become a classic of religious literature.

Must read for those on their journey to enlightenment

I am usually more into sci-fi/fantasy. Recently I have started my own journey to learn compassion, love and metta, & to stop hating myself and garnish love for all. This book has been a keystone for my understanding of this path. By the end I had goosebumps all over my body and felt a calmness instilled that has not yet subsided. I highly recommend this for anyone on their journey to enlightenment or whichever obstacles they are trying to overcome. Enjoy with an an open heart and open mind. :)

beautiful story

A great listen, at times was tough to get through because of the density but was a necessary listen especially if you're looking for moments of peace in your day to day

Very good at teaching the Dharma

I really loved this book. It was one of my first intermediate introductions to the Buddha's life. Sometimes the names of the people can be difficult but after awhile I found myself knowing who they were talking about. I liked the parables used to teach the Dharma and how everything came into being. I feel this was a great additon to my knowledge along the path.
