Excerpt from Buddhist Stories In a certain place, not far from Benares, there lived a man, by name Gautama, who, after having experienced something of life, resolved to leave all behind him, and with one or two others to depart from his native place and travel far away. So, along with these others, he forsook his village, and took nothing with him but a staff and a calabash, and on his body a red robe. Now when they came to the cross-roads, his companions went straight on. But Gautama thought, "Why should I go straight on? I will turn to the left." The others, however, called to him, "This is where the way lies, Friend Gautama!" But he answered, "My way lies this way, " whereupon the others considered, "Leave him alone. What is it to us? He is a fool!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
