�The Buddha was the source. Venerable Svasti and the young buffalo boys were rivers that flowed from the source. Wherever the rivers flowed, the Buddha would be there.�
In Old Path White Clouds, scholar, poet and peace activist
Thich Nhat Hanh retells the story of the Buddha in his own
inimitably beautiful style. He draws upon Pali, Sanskrit and
Chinese sources to trace the Buddha�s life slowly and gently
through the course of eighty years. Seen partly through the
eyes of the Buddha himself and partly through those of Svasti,
the buffalo boy, Old Path White Clouds brings the Buddha closer
to us as we journey with him on his path to enlightenment and nirvana.
