In the footsteps of the Buddha
The places, in the order they happened.
The journey
The geography of one life: where he was born, where he understood something, where he first said it aloud, and where he died. Read against the India he was born into — millennial, brahminical, Hindu — because the teaching does not make much sense without it.
