When the Buddha finally sat down under the Bodhi tree and saw deeply into the nature of things, what had brought him to that point? And what happened next? Vishvapani focusses in on the Buddha's experience after Enlightenment, bringing his nuanced, perceptive reading to the words the Buddha himself is said to have employed in order to best evoke his experiences as he struggled to give voice to them. Excerpted from the talk The Buddha's Vision, part of the series Gautama Buddha, given in Bristol Buddhist Centre, 2011, launching the book 'Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened One' (Quercus, 2011). ***
