The Life of Buddha by A. Ferdinand Herold is a biographical account of the spiritual leader and founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama. The book delves into the life of Buddha, from his birth as a prince in Kapilavastu to his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya. The author provides a detailed description of the social and cultural context of Buddha's time, including the caste system, religious practices, and political climate. The book also explores the key teachings of Buddhism, such as the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, and how they influenced Buddha's life and teachings. Herold's narrative is engaging and informative, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the life and teachings of Buddha. The book is suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in Buddhism and its founder.1927. According to the legends of ancient India. This Life of Buddha is not a work of fiction. The author consulted many books, both ancient and modern. He mainly relied upon the Lalita-Vistara, a jumbled collection of legends and scholastic dissertations in which many traditions regarding the Buddha's origin, childhood, youth, early education and his first deeds are told. Herold also used such other works as the Buddhacarita, Jatakas, Avadanasataka, Le Bouddha, Histoire du Bouddhisme Dans L'Inde and Journal Asiatique.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
