What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
I found the details of Buddha's early life to be the most interesting part of the story. I found the ending to be the least interesting because once his philosophy was established some of the nuances were confusing.What does Kate Reading bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She has a pleasant voice and says all the Asian names accurately, as far I know anywayDid Buddha inspire you to do anything?
It inspired me to read another book about BuddhaGood Introduction to the subject

My favorite Favorite Buddhist story is discussed. How cool is it that when Buddha needed a witness for his status he touched the ground and told Mara (devil) "the earth testifies for me."
Whenever your out in nature touch something and say this and you will feel that blissfull place...I sure do!
My favorite book on Buddhism!
