Old path white clouds presents the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. Drawn directly from 24 Pali, Sanskrit, and Chinese sources, and retold by Thich Nhat hand in his inimitable beautiful style, this book traces the Buddha life slowly and gently over the course of 80 years, partly through the eyes of svasti, the buffalo boy, and partly through the eyes of the Buddha himself. Old path white clouds is a classic of religious literature.
