My favorite book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I happened upon this book, The Lady of the Lotus, over 25 years ago. Even after all this time I still consider it to be one of my all time favorites. What a lovely yet bittersweet love story. It tells a possible tale about about Buddah and his wife, a person I wasn't aware may have even existed along with their son. Can't say enough about how this book had such an emotional affect upon me. I still have the paperback that I cherish and will never part with.
An Enlightening Book

I happened across this wonderful story among my grandmother's forgotten treasures in the form of an old, beaten-up, paperback with yellow pages. I was only in high school and I loved it so much that I read it twice. I then gave it to my English teacher to read and he loved it also. Now I am an English and Humanities teacher and plan to read excerpts of it to my Humanities class during our unit on India. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys spirituality, romance, or adventure...it has it all!
This is a very good story

Mr. Barrett has done his research and from this, has created a plausible tale regarding the wife of Siddharta Gautma (ap) later known as Buddha. Yasodara is not formally acknowledged as his wife. This is one of my favorite books. Read it.. I think it may become one of yours too. !
