Description

Asvaghosha's poetic life of Siddhartha Gautama follows the prince from palace ease through renunciation, enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and compassionate teaching. A practical narrative of the Buddha's path for listeners seeking spiritual insight without hurry. Spoken as usable listening when the story of awakening needs to stay clear and human.

Author

Aśvaghoṣa, also transliterated Ashvaghosha (c. 150 CE), was a Buddhist philosopher, dramatist, poet, musician, and orator from India. He was born in Saketa, today known as Ayodhya. He is believed to have been the first Sanskrit dramatist, and is considered the greatest Indian poet prior to Kālidāsa. It seems probable that he was the contemporary and spiritual adviser of Kanishka in the first century of our era.
