Namaste,

Are there any Buddha stories we can find online - inspiring stories like his meeting with the mass murderer, or the woman who insults him?

    Buddha was once given a bowl of curry.
    Afterwards, he ran to the bathroom in a hurry.

    That's not the Buddha. That's me ... after tasting my mom's cooking.

    I was thinking more like the incidents in Buddha's life, the various people he initiated, the things that happened during his travels and teaching etc. etc.

    Are we talking about things like the story of Angulimala? Most of the things Gautama said/did/who/what/when/where are in the Pali canon/Suttas. Although people have expounded upon some stories with commentary.

    I would also be interested in seeing a buddha manga :P

    Buy "Old Path, White Clouds" by Thich Nhat Hanh. It's pretty much all in there.
