In this book, three men narrate the story of the Buddha's life. One is his son and disciple, Rahula. Another is King Bimbisara's charioteer, Triguna, who is a creature of fiction. The third narrator is Ananda, a cousin and disciple of the Master and later, his attendant. As they proceed with the narration, their understanding of the Master's Teaching deepens, enabling each one to achieve his own transformation.
