Gotama Buddha: A Biography (based on the Canonical Books of the Theravādin) By Kenneth James Saunders [Published 1920, Association Press] seems like a pretty good / even biography ...
notable points:
* Buddha = the Enlightened
* Tathagata = he who has reached the goal
-- -- goal reached only by effort ... characterized by ... joy, calmness, insight, end of the solicitings of craving
* Only one thing I teach, O monks, sorrow and uprooting of sorrow
* The first step is to get rid of the wrong notion of Self
Bojjhanga: Enlightenment
seven elements: Attentiveness, Penetrating Insight, Energy, Interest, Calmness, Concentration, Equanimity
Eben Holden takes:
* Minnit a man stops looking for trouble, happiness will look fer him
