Deepak Chopra's Buddha Volume 1

Deepak Chopra (The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, How to Know God), brings the Buddha to life in this stunning graphic novel adaptation of the New York Times Bestselling novel about a young prince who abandons his inheritance to discover his true calling. His iconic journey changed the world forever and the truths revealed continue to influence every corner of the globe today. A young man in line for the throne is trapped in his father's kingdom and yearns for the outside world. Betrayed by those closest to him, Siddhartha abandons his palace and princely title. Alone and face-to-face with his demons, he becomes a wandering monk and embarks on a spiritual fast that carries him to the brink of death. Although we recognize Buddha today as an icon of peace and serenity, his life story was a tumultuous and spellbinding affair filled with love and sex, murder and loss, struggle and surrender. From the rocky terrain of the material world to the summit of spiritual one, Buddha, captivates and inspires – ultimately leading us closer to understanding the true nature of life and our selves.
