The Story So Far ...

Between August and October last year I started a series of posts on the history of Shakyamuni's awakening and early teachings.  So far there have been four posts on this journey, including his life up to sitting under the Bodhi tree, his encounters with Mara, his enlightenment and his decision to teach others about the Law.  There have also been four posts on his early teachings, including the four noble truths, the eightfold path and the five precepts.
