Excelente！！ Cada vez melhor。 Acho que esse foi o melhor volume até agora。

Indika de Silva ，

Gladiator meets the story of the Buddha。。。 Never in my wildest dreams， I imagined such a narration。On to volume 6。。。

Erik ，

Less focus on the Buddha than any previous volume other than maybe the first。 The stories of the secondary characters were more interesting here than they have been before though。

good read

3。5Was in double minds whether or not continue with the series。While Vol4 spread in all directions and I didn't enjoy it much， this volume has brought back the momentum of the root storyline。For now， moving on to Vol6 of total 8。 3。5Was in double minds whether or not continue with the series。While Vol4 spread in all directions and I didn't enjoy it much， this volume has brought back the momentum of the root storyline。For now， moving on to Vol6 of total 8。 。。。more

The weakest in the series so far。 The writing and dialogue are childish and what were funny quirks in the previous volumes became a bit annoying in this one。 The storylines also a bit scattered in this one。

“Buddha” by Osamu Tezuka is one of the best works I have read in my life。 And of the entire series comprising of 8 volumes， this one was one of my absolute favorites。 I am just astounded at how amazingly Tezuka has chronicled the entire history surrounding Buddha in this series。 The art， the narration， everything about this series was incredible。I have already read the entire series twice and have been compulsively sketching selected frames from the entire series。 It has such a calming effect。 I “Buddha” by Osamu Tezuka is one of the best works I have read in my life。 And of the entire series comprising of 8 volumes， this one was one of my absolute favorites。 I am just astounded at how amazingly Tezuka has chronicled the entire history surrounding Buddha in this series。 The art， the narration， everything about this series was incredible。I have already read the entire series twice and have been compulsively sketching selected frames from the entire series。 It has such a calming effect。 I now simply pick up one of the volumes at any time that I need to calm my mind and whisk it away from worries and anxieties。 。。。more

In this volume of the life of the Buddha， the now enlightened one attracts a following， of men and animals， due to his teachings and his understanding of the suffering of all。 Meanwhile， his friends are stuck on both sides of political conflicts， on their own trails of suffering and trying to live compassionately。 What marks this story is not only the humor and beauty of the characters and situations， but all this in the face of the brutal nature of the world--the cruel human world and the cruel In this volume of the life of the Buddha， the now enlightened one attracts a following， of men and animals， due to his teachings and his understanding of the suffering of all。 Meanwhile， his friends are stuck on both sides of political conflicts， on their own trails of suffering and trying to live compassionately。 What marks this story is not only the humor and beauty of the characters and situations， but all this in the face of the brutal nature of the world--the cruel human world and the cruel world of animals and nature。 There is death， pain， and loss， all deeply painful， but there is a hope， understanding， compassion， and empathy。 At its heart， this is the story of the interconnectedness of all things， and how we should have understanding and love for each other by understanding how we are all equal in suffering。 。。。more

A bit more action and Tatta based than the other volumes。 Every single volume has been great so far， on to the next one。

Another solid volume of Tezuka's Buddha。 In this one， we get a lot more action and forward movement， plot-wise。 Tezuka's art keeps impressing me。 With every volume， Tezuka's action drawings are much more dynamic and well paced。 You can follow blow by blow， movement by movement of a fight between characters。 We also get amazing landscapes and nature drawings in general as always。 What strikes me most about Buddha is that I am not only engrossed in Buddha's tale of how he became "the enlightened o Another solid volume of Tezuka's Buddha。 In this one， we get a lot more action and forward movement， plot-wise。 Tezuka's art keeps impressing me。 With every volume， Tezuka's action drawings are much more dynamic and well paced。 You can follow blow by blow， movement by movement of a fight between characters。 We also get amazing landscapes and nature drawings in general as always。 What strikes me most about Buddha is that I am not only engrossed in Buddha's tale of how he became "the enlightened one"， but also by the side stories of the characters around him。 Princes， beggars， enemies， friends， they all are touched in one way or another by Buddhas influence on the world， and many times， they come into direct contact with him。 Whether its for a benevolent reason or a malicious reasons， largely depends not only on the characters， but where the character is in terms of their life or the story in general。 Its great to see a comic where the characters are very much not limited by notions of "good" or "bad"。 They have to react to life as it comes to them， and make choices which sometimes seem bad， but when you know their backstory and circumstances， you realize they may be desperate or misguided。 Overall， the second half of Buddha begins wonderfully with a lot of dynamic action and the usual irreverent comedy that makes this book so charming。 The weight of the plot is off put by the situational comedy that only enhances the overall experience。 Cant wait to read vol 6。 。。。more

Tezuka is the master of manga and Buddha's wisdom knows no boundaries。 Have lots of human stupidity and cruelty so that the master becomes the paragon of virtue by simply existing in the same world with these idiots。Oh dear， all the deer。。。 And my heart cried with the elephant。 Tezuka is the master of manga and Buddha's wisdom knows no boundaries。 Have lots of human stupidity and cruelty so that the master becomes the paragon of virtue by simply existing in the same world with these idiots。Oh dear， all the deer。。。 And my heart cried with the elephant。 。。。more

I think this volume should be renamed as Tatta and the Deer Park。 Tatta "The Bandit" transforms to Tatta "The warrior" as a pathway to quench his thirst for revenge at the Kosalans。 While the enlightened Buddha tries to re-join his ex-sect and preach his vision of connected universe and co-existence。 Buddha quickly discovers that a herd of deer are more porous to Buddha's teachings as compared to the sheer hatred showered on him by Dhepa， for whom Trials is still the only way to enlightenment 。 I think this volume should be renamed as Tatta and the Deer Park。 Tatta "The Bandit" transforms to Tatta "The warrior" as a pathway to quench his thirst for revenge at the Kosalans。 While the enlightened Buddha tries to re-join his ex-sect and preach his vision of connected universe and co-existence。 Buddha quickly discovers that a herd of deer are more porous to Buddha's teachings as compared to the sheer hatred showered on him by Dhepa， for whom Trials is still the only way to enlightenment 。 Well atleast till the time that he gets a old-school blood transfusion from Buddha 。。。more

My personal favourite of the series so far。 Siddharta attains enlightenment and becomes the Buddha。 He is full of compassion， happiness and love for everyone。 Even his enemies。 This book goes to some very profound places， expresses the infinite and communicates the depth of Buddhist philosophy， while being fun， joyful and just plain beautiful。The illustrations are flawless as usual， and the rest of the crew engage in the usual shenanigans。 But this volume breaks with the traditional story arcs， My personal favourite of the series so far。 Siddharta attains enlightenment and becomes the Buddha。 He is full of compassion， happiness and love for everyone。 Even his enemies。 This book goes to some very profound places， expresses the infinite and communicates the depth of Buddhist philosophy， while being fun， joyful and just plain beautiful。The illustrations are flawless as usual， and the rest of the crew engage in the usual shenanigans。 But this volume breaks with the traditional story arcs， by elevating Buddha to Enlightenment and having him spread love and peace everywhere he goes。I am truly inspired and excited about this book。Love it。 。。。more

This is the first manga book I've read。 Picked it up because of the title -- I'm Buddhist -- I loved it。 Can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series。 I especially found it wonderful that in the book the first disciples of the Buddha were deer。 Wonderful weaving of several stories/characters in this book。 This is the first manga book I've read。 Picked it up because of the title -- I'm Buddhist -- I loved it。 Can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series。 I especially found it wonderful that in the book the first disciples of the Buddha were deer。 Wonderful weaving of several stories/characters in this book。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Finally some teachings of the Buddha without the make believe stories。 One star less coz there is still a lot make-believe stories and less of Buddhist philosophy。 Legendary story telling and comic skills of the author though。

Siddhartha has finally achieved enlightenment。 He has become the Buddha。 A name he was christened with by Brahman - the One and all。 He is asked by the one who divulged the enlightenment to him to spread his teachings。 Apart from that， we are also led into the lifestyle of other protagonists in the story。 Characters like Tatta， King Bimbisara， Dhepa - the Samanna and others。The best thing about Osamu's work is that it is very-much-tongue-in-cheek。 His caricatures are not only intricate in nature Siddhartha has finally achieved enlightenment。 He has become the Buddha。 A name he was christened with by Brahman - the One and all。 He is asked by the one who divulged the enlightenment to him to spread his teachings。 Apart from that， we are also led into the lifestyle of other protagonists in the story。 Characters like Tatta， King Bimbisara， Dhepa - the Samanna and others。The best thing about Osamu's work is that it is very-much-tongue-in-cheek。 His caricatures are not only intricate in nature but have this realistic feel attached to it。 The way he communicates intense and deep messages through trivial imagery is way above the thought-processes of the regular human being。 The concept of the fourth-wall is utilized to the fullest as the characters seem to communicate with the readers on intense topics， particularly related to the art on display。Tatta finally finds his way to Magadha through Devadatta who has his eye on the impending doom of Kosala， whose armies had taken away his childhood in a way。 Utilizing Tatta's ability he is able to make himself an asset to the Magadhan Kingdom and it is through him alone that he encounters Buddha and becomes a disciple of his， awed by his aura and enlightenment。Buddha is able to preach his sermon and way of life and it starts with a single deer who heeds his sayings。 It grows on until even the ascetics from the Forest of Trials come forth to listen to the man who spoke God in his words。Deer Park is an interesting addition to the legacy of the Buddha as presented through Tezuka's eyes and one can only look forward to more such tales in the upcoming books。 。。。more

I at times felt skeptical that the characters could find solace in what Buddha said， but what he said about the prince having to suffer alone was convincing。 It is amazing that Tezuka deeply humanized even the "bad" characters in his story。 He also took the "why wallow in your own despair so？ Others suffer no less" line toward a place of empathy instead of a harsh "suck up and buck up，" though I'm not sure the message ended up being all that different。。。it's all in the delivery， I guess。 I at times felt skeptical that the characters could find solace in what Buddha said， but what he said about the prince having to suffer alone was convincing。 It is amazing that Tezuka deeply humanized even the "bad" characters in his story。 He also took the "why wallow in your own despair so？ Others suffer no less" line toward a place of empathy instead of a harsh "suck up and buck up，" though I'm not sure the message ended up being all that different。。。it's all in the delivery， I guess。 。。。more

Very interesting， revisiting several old characters with a dramatic ending。

Goosebumps at the end！！

OK at this point in the story Siddhartha has already become Buddha。 We get the tale of Tatta about half the book。 Tatta and his wife are committed some point in the future to be disciples of Buddha。 Buddha has been enlightened at this point。 Most of this book deals with people not believing him。 As usual great graphics。
