ABOUT THE BOOK: Buddha was a great philosopher who revolutionised the religious thought and feeling of people during the lifetime. Such was the power of his words that they continue to resonate 2500 years later, till today. The starting point of Gautama Buddha’s philosophy was his own question as a fortunate young man, ‘Why am I not completely happy?’ It was an introspective question, very different from the externalised curiosity of the philosophers of that time. Buddha concentrated upon Self and sought to destroy it.
Following the footsteps of the great master from the time he appeared on earth till his mahaparinirvana, Sunita Pant Bansal has skilfully woven Buddha’s learning’s and teaching in her travelogue-style narrative, along with the popular stories from his life. This book is complete package for anyone who wants to understand Buddha and Buddhism and how it spread from the Bodhi tree at Gaya to almost everywhere in the world.
