  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;BUDDHA is an inspiring re&amp;ndash;imagining of the life of a prince who gave up the trappings of royalty for something much more important&amp;ndash;wisdom and enlightenment. This revolutionary journey has changed the world forever, and the lessons Buddha taught continue to influence every corner of the globe today. This is a new form of teaching for beloved Chopra and with it he brings us closer to understanding the true nature of life and ourselves.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; From the Author's Note:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; &quot;I wrote this book as a sacred journey, fictionalized in many of its externals but psychologically true, I hope, to what the seeker's path feels like. In all three phases of his life&amp;ndash;Siddhartha the prince, Gautama the monk, and Buddha the Compassionate One&amp;ndash;&amp;ndash;he was as mortal as you and I, yet he attained enlightenment and was raised to the rank of an immortal. The miracle is that he got there following a heart as human as yours and mine, and just as vulnerable. &quot;&lt;/P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Eric got me this book for Christmas b/c I have been looking to learn more about Buddhism. While it was a SUPER easy read and is a fictionalized version of Buddha's life, one might get the impression that this book is all fluff. In fact, it was actually really nuanced and interesting and served as a ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41945144">more...</a>]]></body>

So did Herman Hesse and that's why he wrote Siddhartha an amazing work of insight and revelation about the core of Buddhist thought and the life of a man who brought his message of silence and cont...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34800280">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I bought the hardcover, and that says something. The stories of the Buddha are truly difficult to tell, because they are so layered and every detail seems significant. Only a master storyteller like Chopra understands what it means to tell the story of the Buddha in a way that is truly enchanting, e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28401300">more...</a>]]></body>

This fictionalized biography is best described as a &quot;portrait.&quot;  It follows Siddhartha from before he's even born through his enlightenment.  Unlike Hesse's &quot;Siddartha,&quot; which I remember as being much more about the spiritual journey, and therefore m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16758199">more...</a>]]></body>
