The living Buddha : an interpretive biography

The Living Buddha : An Interpretive Biography
Author : Ikeda Daisaku / Translated by Burton Watson
Publisher : Middleway Press (October 1, 2008)

(cover)
Review : Ikeda's biography of Shakyamuni Buddha made him very real. The reader is taken into the life and times of Shakyamuni, providing a rich history that kept me turning the pages for more. I have read this book twice and each time I enjoy it more than the last. Most important, Ikeda uses language and concepts that Buddhists and non Buddhists alike can readily understand.
(Ikeda Daisaku)
