If Only I Had Listened with Different Ears

Exploring themes of enlightenment and spiritual awakening, this collection features three interconnected tales. The first two focus on the life of the Buddha, delving into his teachings and experiences. The final story shifts to a millennium later, highlighting the Bodhisattva Maitreya, who reveals himself exclusively to the monk Asanga. These narratives echo the philosophical depth found in Siddhartha, inviting readers to reflect on the journey toward understanding and compassion.
