Little Buddha, The: Finding Happiness

The journey of the Little Buddha began when Claus Mikosch and his four-year-old daughter used to go walking near a Buddhist temple, and she asked him questions about the Buddha. When Claus had the idea to collect their conversations, the Little Buddha was born.

It is not a book about THE Buddha or about Buddhism. It is instead the story of a pretty normal Buddha who, tired of meditating beneath his Bodhi tree, embarks upon a journey.

Inspired by Claus' travels to India, The Little Buddha: Finding Happiness is a timeless tale of friendship, curiosity, and the art of being simply happy. It carries the reader on a mindful journey in which the Little Buddha discovers different landscapes and different people, but most of all discovers himself.

AUTHOR: Claus Mikosch is a writer and documentary film-maker, who lives in Germany and Spain. He writes the blog, Reflections on Changing Times, and his films include Annica – Embracing Change. After leaving school, Claus travelled the world and fell in love with India. There he heard the tales that would inspire the Little Buddha stories.
