Buddha and His Disciples is written by S. Dhammika. The life of the Buddha is more than an account of one man’s quest for and realization of the truth. It is also about the people who encountered that man during his forty five year career and how their encounter trans-formed them.
If the Buddha’s quest and his encounters with others is set against the backdrop of the world in which these events were acted out, a world with its unique customs, its political intrigue and its religious ferment, it becomes one of the most fascinating stories ever told.
