The exposition unfolds in an engaging sequence of scenarios depicting the Buddha in lively conversation with people from various strata of Indian society—with kings and princes, priests and ascetics, simple villagers and erudite philosophers. These conversations, filled with drama, reasoned arguments, vivid allegories and metaphors, showcase the Buddha in all the splendor of his magnificent wisdom, majestic exaltation, and compassionate humanity.
