Dhammika�� Publisher: Buddhist Publication Society�� Category: Buddhism | History | Philosophy About the Book Footprints in the Dust by Bhante Shravasti Dhammika presents a fascinating and authentic account of the Buddha’s life based on the most ancient sources, the Pali Tipitaka. Unlike popular legends and myths, this book carefully reconstructs the Buddha as a real historical person – his appearance, daily routine, teachings, travels, and even how he responded to criticism. The author explains how two Buddhas are often imagined: The Buddha of legend – colorful, engaging, and sometimes fantastic. The Buddha of history – down-to-earth, spiritually extraordinary, yet still human. This book offers readers a unique opportunity to understand the true life of the Buddha, free from exaggerations, and based on authentic Buddhist scriptures.
