Hello /lit/. I have already seen some threads about Buddhism here, so I know many of you guys like to read about it.

For that reason I would lime to ask your help on something: could you appoint me the best biography of the historical Buddha, the one who is more concerned with true facts and less with mysticism and legend?

Thank you very much. Also, use this thread to indicate the best books about any other Buddhism related subjects.

I want to give a meditation habit another try. Have tried book learned shikantaza but am also interested in Theravada methods. Please recommend me some literature on meditation techniques. Or things other than literature.

Can you recommend me works that serve as a thorough introduction to Buddhism as a whole?
