The Buddha and His Dhamma

More about the book

The book explores the complexities surrounding the life and teachings of Buddha, particularly the pivotal moment of his renunciation, known as Parivraja. It challenges traditional explanations for this event, questioning the common narrative that it stemmed from witnessing suffering. The author aims to clarify these issues and stimulate discussion among Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Key topics include Siddhartha Gautama's transformation into the Buddha, his teachings, the role of the Sangha, and his interactions with contemporaries, ultimately seeking to provide a cohesive understanding of Buddhism.
