Thus We Heard - Recollections of the Life of the Buddha
This book celebrates the 2,600th anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment, and is dedicated to all members of the Sangha - Past, Present, and Future.
This book is an amalgam of three kinds of books: a fully-researched biography, a collection of important Dhamma messages, and a historical novel that "might have happened". It features imagined conversations with nine of the enlightened arahant disciples of the Buddha and "special guests" that "may have" attended the First Sangha Council that took place ninety days after the Buddha's Parinibbana. This book will help the reader gain a deeper appreciation for the life of the Buddha, and a greater understanding of why his teachings have been such a powerful influence on humanity for the past 26 centuries.
