Dear Yong Peng,
You are addressing people coming from many different backgrounds, trying to
arouse their interest. It is good that you do this in a manner easily
understandable to people who hear about the Buddha for the first time. You
did some research on the historical background and the books available in
different cultures. I cannot give comments on this, because I did not make
studies in this field. I see at the end that you are going to write about
Asita which is a beautiful story. We can find this in "Pali Proper Names",
by Malalasekera, PTS. Two huge volumes with info about persons in Tipitaka
and Commentaries.
Nina.
