Part of the Clay Sanskrit Library series
Hardback
- Information
Description
Nanda has it all: youth, money, good looks and a kittenish wife who fulfills his sexual and emotional needs.
He also has the Buddha, a dispassionate man of immense insight and self-containment, for an older brother.
When Nanda is made a reluctant recruit to the Buddha's order of monks, he is forced to confront his all-too-human enslavement to his erotic and romantic desires.
Dating from the second century CE, Ashva·ghosha’s Handsome Nanda portrays its hero’s spiritual makeover with compassion, psychological profundity, and great poetic skill.
