Details
It doesn’t tell the historical story of the life of the Buddha, but we include it because in a way it tells the story of the Buddha of beginningless time, the Buddha that is everywhere and has always been, from deep in the ocean to beyond the moon. Our favorite spread is the one that says “Buddha is in the hearts of all.”
