520    "What do we know of the wife and child the Buddha 
       abandoned when he went off to seek his enlightenment? For 
       the first time, The Buddha's Wife brings this rarely told 
       story to the forefront, offering a nuanced portrait of 
       this compelling and compassionate figure while also 
       examining the practical applications her teachings have on
       our modern lives. Princess Yasodhara's journey is one full
       of loss, grief, and suffering. But through it, she 
       discovered her own enlightenment within the deep bonds of 
       community and "ordinary" relationships. While traditional 
       Buddhism emphasizes solitary mediation, Yasodhara's 
       experience speaks of the Path of Right Relation, of 
       achieving awareness not alone but together with others. 
       The Buddha's Wife is comprised of two parts: the first 
       part is a historical narrative of Yasodhara's fascinating 
       story, and then the second part is a reader's companion 
       filled with life lessons, practices, and reflections for 
       the modern reader. Her story gives readers a relational 
       path, one which speaks directly to our everyday lives and 
       offers a doorway to profound spiritual maturation, 
       awakening, and wisdom beyond the solitary, heroic journey"
