The Life of Buddha and Its Lessons ( Annotated ) : By Henry Steel Olcott, Gautama Buddha, Enlightenment, Teachings, Buddhism, Buddhism Theravada
A short commentary on the historical life of Buddha, as well as an overview if Buddhist thought - including tolerance, peace, benevolence, a brotherhood of all men. Against that backdrop are also balance, detachment, concepts of an illusory world and self-control and self-purification. Olcott was a theosophist, so the book reflects that worldview. Nevertheless, it is a classic and interesting work on the life and teachings of one of the great teachers of all time.
