Summary

A book that brings to light the true essence of Buddhism as a religion that inspires in each one of us a yearning for a higher and better life, one full of virtue, spiritual joy, and service to fellow human beings.

A book that firmly reminds us that every man must be a fabricator of his own salvation, that The Buddha does not proclaim himself to be a savior but only professes to teach us the way we can liberate ourselves as he has liberated himself.

A book that sorts through the mixed messages given by the various schools of Buddhism and the ever so identifying Buddhist Teachers and distils the essence of the Buddhism in a way that the listener by the end of this audiobook would understand not only the specifics around the precepts and history, but also the ever eluding philosophical questions of the soul, transmigration, and Karma in the scientific manner that Buddha intended them to be understood—in a scientific, rational and reason based manner.

A book truly for the scientific, rational and socially inclined modern Buddhist.
