Curator's Note:

Kelen bridges the gap between historical biography and the rich oral traditions of the East to trace Siddhartha's path from a palace to the Bodhi tree. The narrative highlights the universal psychological trigger of his journey—the sudden confrontation with suffering—and explains the core tenets of the Eightfold Path through his personal evolution. It is an accessible, storytelling-focused introduction to the foundations of Buddhist thought.
