    The story provides a biography of Siddhattha Gotama, who later became known as the Buddha. It details the major events in his life from birth until his death.

    The story is about the life of Siddhattha Gotama, a prince who became dissatisfied with worldly pleasures and sought spiritual enlightenment.

    Some major events in Siddhattha's life included leaving his palace life behind to become a monk, practicing severe asceticism, achieving enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and beginning to teach the Dharma.

    INTRODUCTION
    TO PARENTS AND TEACHERS
    This colouring book is based on the original text
    A Pictorial Biography of Sakyamuni Buddha by
    Gunapauta et al. 1998.
    Its pictures and captions tell a life story of
    Siddhattha Gotama who became a great spiritual
    teacher the fully awakened one, the Buddha. It
    is a story of an unfolding human life and potential
    for love and understanding - a story from birth
    and childhood to married life, to search for the
    highest truth, and to service until death and
    Parinibbana. Colouring the pictures and reflecting
    on the captions will help the children develop
    ability to concentrate and reflect on life and its
    purpose.
    I thank the Corporate Body of the Buddha
    Educational Foundation for permitting me to adapt
    their publication, and to Phil Thompson for
    converting my pencil drawings to electronic
    graphics.
