Description:

The Indian aristocrat who preferred devoting his

life to discover Dhamma ('philosophy' and 'religion'

defined the oriental way) rather than enjoying the

luxurious life he was offered by his rich father has been

'lifted up' by his followers from history to myth, to legend

and even to superstition. That was the reason why

Samuel Beal called the biography of the Buddha he

compiled "The Romantic Life of Gotama the Buddha".

Even the life stories written by traditional Theravadins are

full of events and descriptions one might consider more

mythological than historical. Is his identity, then, deemed

lost permanently for genuine seekers of 21st century? Or

is it deeply hidden under the thick layer of glossy

'religious' literature?
