About this eBook

From Bestselling author Deepak Chopra

Read the First Issue for FREE! Deepak Chopra brings the Buddha back to life in this stunning graphic novel adaptation of the New York Times Bestselling novel about a young prince who abandons his inheritance to discover his true calling. His 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.

Ratings and reviews

I am a fan of Chopra's and also a practicing Buddhist. I just discovered this graphic novel, or comic and I absolutely adore it. I hope to see the rest of the story with the same beautiful illustrations🖤

Never read comics before but the illustrations are vibrant and it gets right to the point of the story line. I'm Christian but take curiosity in reading cultures and how philosophers came about.

I read this book many years ago. I am going to read it again! Simply love it!
