Buddha Vol. 03

Bandaka’s child Devadatta grows up into a world of discrimination, bullying, and overall injustice. He in turn becomes somewhat beastly and has little concern for human life. Simultaneously, Siddhartha seeks out his calling as a monk, and starts searching for the proper master to teach him the meaning of life, and more importantly, how to reconcile with death.
