Most of the Buddha's life was spent on the move. He travelled thousands ofilometres over Northern India and Nepal, forming his philosophy and teachings he went. This book is a retracing of his journey, from a royal birth atumbini to his death as a wandering saint in Kusinagar.;The story works onifferent levels. A lively account of the author's responses to travelling,t is an informative description of the culture and scenery of the regions heasses through. The text is also a recreation of the Buddha's journey intories of events from his life, and a revelation of the Buddha as a warm andnspirational character. Most importantly though, the story is one of thepiritual voyages of both the Buddha and the author.;Marc de Smedtnterweaves the words of the present day Buddhists he meets with his wonusings on the nature of Buudhism and the meaning of the Buddha's life andessage.
