Old Path White Clouds: Walking In the Footsteps of the Buddha

Description

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 a classic of religious literature.

Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. His life long efforts to generate peace and reconciliation moved Martin Luther King Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel peace prize in 1967. He is the founder of Van Hanh Buddhist University in Saigon and has taught at Columbia University and the Sorbonne. He is the author of Being Peace, Under the Banyan Tree, The Path of Emancipation, and 85 other books.
