The secret of the Buddha

Somewhere in an Indian village, the earth shakes in the middle of the night. The siblings Siri and Tissa run excitedly into the open air. Fascinated, they experience the tremors and even see the stars bouncing. It is not until the next day that the children learn the reason for the quake from an old monk: The death of the exalted Buddha has triggered the shaking of earth and sky. But who was this Buddha, of whom it is said that he was no ordinary man, but in everything excellent, perfect? The old monk tells the children the exciting life story of the enlightened man, which begins with the birth of Prince Siddhartha.
