Issue Overview:
Before enlightenment, he was just a man searching for meaning.

In this first issue, the origin of Siddhartha Gautama is told through richly illustrated panels and reflective narration. We follow his early life as a prince sheltered from the outside world — until suffering, old age, and death force him to confront the impermanence of everything.

This adaptation draws directly from Deepak Chopra’s novel, making it both accessible for new readers and reverent for those familiar with Buddhist teachings.
