We will see him and the rest of our beloved relgious founders and philosophers in heaven. One day we will all bend the knee to Jesus.  GEPPSTER53 | Jul 16, 2009 | Het is het bijzondere verhaal van een prins die macht en rijkdom opgaf om het pad van wijsheid en verlichting op te gaan. Zijn diepzinnige inzichten werden overal verspreid, en door zijn invloed veranderde de wereld. Siddharta was een jonge, getalenteerde en veelbelovende man voor wie een grote toekomst in het verschiet lag. Opgesloten als hij was in het koninkrijk van zijn vader, werd hij onrustig. Zijn sterke verlangen dreef hem op de vlucht naar de wereld buiten het koninkrijk. Zo begint een meeslepend verhaal over liefde, erotiek, moord, verlies, overgave en verlichting: een gang van de ruwe aardse naar de spirituele wereld. (Uit: Bol.com). Deepak Chopra is een van spirituele leiders van dit moment. Hij heeft veel boeken geschreven, maar niet in roman vorm zoals dit boek 'Boeddha'. Dat is ook goed te merken. Het boek is niet pakkend geschreven, maar wel zeer informatief en daardoor interessant. (  ) WillemienWorldWide | Jun 8, 2009 | Deepak Chopra's Buddha A Story of Enlightenment is an interesting retelling of the journey of the Buddha. Despite a couple of jarring contemporary references, Chopra's narrative is mostly faithful to the story we've heard, although it seem rushed at the end and the explanation of the 4 noble truths and eightfold path deserves better. 1 and a half stars (  ) RoeschLeisure | May 29, 2009 | Rather uninspiring, the fact that it is a fictionalized account also seems to add the the 'dumbed down' feeling. If you're interested in the Buddha, try something else, Karen Armstrong's "Buddha" perhaps. (  ) Jamnjazzz | Feb 27, 2009 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060878800, Hardcover)Bestselling author Deepak Chopra brings the Buddha back to life in this gripping novel of the young prince who abandoned his inheritance to discover his true calling. This 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. Ultimately recognizing his inability to conquer his body and mind by sheer will, Siddhartha transcends his physical pain and achieves enlightenment. 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 the spiritual one, Buddha captivates and inspires—ultimately leading us closer to understanding the true nature of life and our selves.
