More about the book

The book challenges the common portrayal of the Buddha as "enlightened," arguing instead for the term "awakened." It explores how this distinction influences the perception of Buddhism, suggesting that the focus on enlightenment has shaped the religion's identity. By reframing the discussion, it invites readers to reconsider the essence of Buddhist teachings and their implications for personal and spiritual growth.
