ANTHONY MOUNTAINThe Little Prince BuddhaPrologueAs in the Thousand and One Nights, we will retell the beautiful story of the Buddha, based on the life of Buddha grandfather, the Gautama and not in the life of his grandson, the Buddha Sidharta, which was magnificently focused on the works of Hermann Hesse.We also add the story of a small Indian, about the existence of another Heaven, where the true gods live, those who only seek goodness, truth and justice for all.Finally, we show a New Vision of the Little Prince, with his wonderful symbolism. We hope that these stories can become inspiring to your minds and raise your hearts. In this troubled world in which we live, there are still thinking hearts and minds that dream of a new humanity and a better world. THE LITTLE PRINCE BUDDHAIt all began in the ancient Kingdom of India, in the comfort of a huge castle, all surrounded by high walls, where a Prince was born from the wealthy family ruling the place. He had the happiness of being born and raised with all the pampering and with all the plenty, that his rich family could provide him. Nothing was missing for the little Indian Prince, named Gautama. His education and the teachings needed for his training were taken care of and provided by the kingdom's best mentors. However, everyone was forbidden to mention the serious problems and misery existing in the outside world, in the true world outside the walls of the magnificent Castle, where he lived with the royal family and all his entourage. Thus, Prince Gautama grew up healthy, beautiful, handsome and well-mannered.Having everything in abundance and thinking that the world was summing up to the formidable paradise in which he lived, where everything revolved around him and his family, always wealthy and powerful. It happens that chance or fate does not usually let anyone's life go through in peace, without any stumbles and difficulties, for a long time. Whether that person is rich or poor. For this very reason, one day, one of the many employees of the Castle, who had the special function of entertaining Prince Gautama, in the great gardens of the Palace, with all kinds of games and sports, had to leave hastily to answer the call of a personal emergency. An urgent case of life or death in his family, outside the walls of the Castle. This employee left in such a hurry, such was the emergency requested by his family, who lived in a distant place, well beyond the walls of the Castle, that he left ajar the heavy service door, which the staff used to enter and leave the Castle. It was a door that should always remain vigilantly closed and guarded, not to admit the entry of any strangers and also not to allow the Prince to leave, outside the confines of the Castle.The servant, before leaving, had zealously apologized and asked the Prince to await the arrival of other servants, who were already on their way. But Prince Gautama, who was kept permanently busy, had suddenly left no need to do anything and had no one to occupy him. As he was idle, without having things to do, he decided to go look out the door ajar, through which the servant had passed. It happens that this door gave almost immediate access to the existing world outside the Castle, the world he had never known, in his entire life as a young Prince.THE LITTLE PRINCE The Little Prince is a child who appears in the desert of our life, in a way so natural, so spontaneous, as if he had always been there and as if he knew deeply the human being Aviator, which he finds in the desert full of problems.But although it is a pleasant surprise, this Prince is totally unknown to the Aviator, who does not know how to react to that captivating presence, which seems like something sublime and full of Mysteries.
