Buddha A Story of Enlightenment Deepak Chopra 9788172236793 Books

The story of the Buddha has been told time and time again, and various accounts of his life story have been recorded in books, films, and other media. This version, Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment, was written by Deepak Chopra, an alternative medicine advocate in the New Age movement. I hadn't read any of Chopra's other books prior to this one, so I approached this book with very few expectations.

The book is broken up into three main sections: "Siddhartha The Prince", "Gautama The Monk", and "Buddha". Each section describes the stages of the Buddha's development and evolution. Before the Buddha became the Buddha, he was Gautama, a wandering monk. And before Gautama came Siddhartha, a prince stuck in his father's walled kingdom. Chopra goes into great detail on the topic, throwing in a lot of intriguing anecdotes of which I was previously unaware.

I really enjoyed this one. I've read and listened to several variations of the Buddha's story, but none that were this in-depth and engaging. I'm sure it won't be the last Buddha book that I read, but for now, this has been the best!

Buddha A Story of Enlightenment Deepak Chopra 9788172236793 Books Reviews

The story of Buddha shows us the birth of a great belief or better put, Truth. Truth can be enlightenment, God, or Self. Read this and open your heart to Truth.
Amazing
Life changing
I really regret the blindness that I was in, being held by the ideas and the programs implanted into my mind. Meanings that could enlighten one's life if he chooses to, stories that could easily expand one's perspective if he chooses to, knowledge that could leads one's journey to infinite possibilities if he chooses to. Blindness is a curse that should be dealt with.

Thank you Deepak again 🙏
I love almost anything that Deepak writes, but this book was very intriguing. I have to say, I enjoyed the first half the most. I could understand the thought process of the main character much better. In the second half, when he finally becomes aware, sometimes, it was difficult to follow. Very interesting book though about something I haven't know much about.
It’s 1250 AM here on the East Coast in USA as I start to write this blog on the book, “Buddha A Story of Enlightenment” by Deepak Chopra. The very fact that I could not wait till morning to write this should give the reader an idea of the kind of impact this book has had on me.

I am follower of the Sant Nirankari Mission. I have been blessed with God Knowledge by the grace of my Divine Master Her Holiness Satguru Mata Savinder Hardev Ji Maharaj. Although, I was blessed with God Knowledge a while ago, everyday has been a fight for me to stay true to the path that my Divine Master has laid down for me. Often, I’ve wondered why that is the case. After knowing the truth, why can’t I stay in line with it? I found some answers in this book.

Buddha, as we know him was born a warrior prince Siddhartha who was just like most mortals but a mortal who responded to his conscience when he was asked, is this what is life was mean to be? When he saw the sufferings around him, he wanted to find a way to escape it and thus was born, Gautam!

Gautam, as a monk, spent years in the forest meditating all the way trying to find a way to escape suffering. He starved himself, subjected his body to all kinds of pain so that he would learn to conquer suffering & death and yet that did not satisfy him. The quest continued & it’s only when he finally realized, “Life is suffering. It is not about winning or losing, it’s not about happiness or sorrow, it’s not about life or death but it’s about being aloof from both the extremes” that Gautam turned into, “Buddha” !!

As I finished reading that conclusion, I was reminded of Rev. Vivek Shauq Ji’s vichars where he would often say that “We need to accept everything as will & wish of the formless God. There is nothing called as pain and pleasure”

While trying to be a Nirankari, I’ve often tried to use my verbal skills to convince my friends & family to get God Knowledge from Sadguru Mata Ji & yet very few of them have actually responded. I used to often wonder, why? I found some answers in the book.

After being enlightened, Buddha was on his way back to his kingdom and he sees that his father is at war with his cousin. Buddha notices that two warriors are fighting each other’s and they come very close to Buddha. Buddha walks right in between them and challenges them to hit him and kill him first before trying to reach each other’s. The two warriors feel ashamed & they drop their weapons. Buddha says, “Some people can be reached by speaking to their conscience. Those are the ones who will recognize their wrong when it is told to them”

As Buddha walks further though, the two armies are fighting furiously and they pay no attention to him. Here Buddha says, “These are people who cannot listen to conscience, not because they are bad but because they are too caught up in action. You cannot preach to someone who is fighting for life and breath, not just in war but in the ordinary struggle of existence” To such people the only way to preach is through my right actions!
This is a very enjoyable and readable fictional rendition of the life of Siddhārtha Gautama, the man who was the founder of Buddhism.

The story portrays Siddhārtha as a real person. While he has a good character, he is by no means perfect, and has all of the flaws and failings to be expected in any human being.

It's an interesting story, regardless of anyone's particular faith, or lack thereof.
I enjoyed reading—in story format—the details of Buddha’s early life, subsequent departure from royalty, and his painstaking journey after that. My favorite part of BUDDHA A STORY OF ENLIGHTENMENT came at the end when author Deepak Chopra articulates a user-friendly definition of what Buddhism is, and equally important what it is not.
Ok. I am VERY hard on Deepak Chopra because he is an EXCELLENT writer. I find that his books are the most valuable of any I own from Eastern Wisdom traditions. His writing in this is no different.

Deepak weaves the story of young Buddha all the way through his enlightenment period mixing fact with fiction in a way thats so spellbinding I didnt want to put it down. Seriously.

The way it is written you can very well imagine being there with the Buddha as he travels along his life and gains the valuable life experience that led him to enlightenment.

Deepak at the end offers a small introduction into Buddhist philosophy but not ever in a way that sounds pushy or demanding.

I cant recommend this book highly enough!
