ALL LIFE IS SACRED...

OSAMU TEZUKA, THE GODFATHER OF JAPANESE GRAPHIC ART, BRINGS ANCIENT INDIA TO LIFE, LAVISHLY RETELLING THE LIFE AND TIMES OF 'THE ENLIGHTNED ONE' IN HIS CRITICALLY ACCLAINED EIGHT-BOOK MESTERPIECE: BUDDHA. THE FATES OF REAL AND IMAGINED CHARACTERS ARE DEFTLY INTERWOVEN AS THEY ENGAGE IN FRESH AND UNEXPECTED ADVENTURES, PLAYING OUT TEZUKA'S PHILOSOPHICAL CONCERN WITH OVERCOMING FATE AND THE USELESSNESS OF VIOLENCE.

UNFULFILLED BY THE TEACHINGS OF RENOWED ASCETICS, SIDDHARTHA AGREES TO FOLLOW DHEPA INTO THE FOREST OF TRIALS. BUT THE FINAL ORDEAL OF LITTLE ASSAJI PROVES TO BE HIS MOST POIGNANT LESSON. 

AS SIDDHARTHA SEARCHES HIS HEART AND YEARNS FOR HIS FAMILY, THE KOSALANS DISCOVER THE TRUE CASTE OF THEIR QUEEN - A DESPISED SHUDRA DISGUISED AS A NOBLE KSHATRIYA. FOR THE INSULT, THE BUDDHA'S HOMELAND WILL PAY DEARLY.
