The Life of Buddha is based on a prolonged study of Indian legends, poems, history and literature.The Life of Buddha not only adds to the actual knowledge of the facts surrounding the life of the Lord Buddha, but it also renders intelligible much that has hitherto mystified the Western student of the Orient. With great clarity, the author brings out the modes of life the sense of values, the technique of meditation, and the daily life of the Lord Buddha. Packed with stimulating information, it is of interest to the student of Eastern religion and mysticism and the lover of Asiatic art, as well as to those concerned with philosophy, with the psychology of religion, and also to the general reader who hopes to gain an insight into the Orient.This vivid account of Buddha's life shows clearly how the values and manners set down by this man swept through India, Burma, Indo-China, and Ceylon, across China and Korea, and into Japan; and how the daily life of a man who lived over two thousand five hundred years ago has become an inspiration, not only to millions of Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese, but also to increasing numbers of Westerners as well.

Rahuliku pereelu poorab pea peale isa, kellest saab aarelinna Buddha, imetlevate jungrite ebajumal. Kui Buddha uhte oma jungrisse armub, satub Karim ootamatult hoopis teistsugusesse maailma tais reeturlikke teatraale, punkrokistaare, glamuurseid pidusid ja seksuaalseid ahvatlusi.Briti kirjaniku Hanif Kureishi „Aarelinna Buddha” (1990) palvis Whitbreadi auhinna aasta parima debuutromaani eest ning joudis 1993. aastal BBC ekraanile miniseriaalina, millele loi muusika David Bowie. 1970. aastate Londonis hargnev kirev ja vaimukas „Aarelinna Buddha” on jaanud varskeks ja ootamatult ajakajaliseks ka nuud, kus jarjekordne teismeliste polvkond segases maailmas oma kohta otsib. Kaesolev valjaanne on 1996. aastal avaldatud tolke parandatud versioon. Eesti lugejatelt sooja vastuvotu leidnud Kureishi loomingust on varem ilmunud ka „Gabrieli and” (2003) ja „Midagi sulle oelda” (2009).
