Discover the lives and works of 24 of the Buddha's most distinguished disciples in this engaging and informative volume. Drawing from authentic Pali sources, the stories of these individuals are brought to life in ten chapters, offering a unique insight into the human side of the early Buddhist ideals.
Through the stories of these disciples, you'll meet a diverse range of people, from rich to poor, young to old, each with their own unique experiences and struggles. By reading their stories with careful attention, you can gain a deeper understanding of the Buddhist path and the people who embodied its principles.
Conveniently annotated with sutta references, this volume provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in Buddhism and its history. It's a must-have for serious students of the subject, and a great introduction to the lives and teachings of the Buddha's closest followers.
