An End to Suffering
Author: Pankaj Mishra
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429933631
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
An End to Suffering is a deeply original and provocative book about the Buddha's life and his influence throughout history, told in the form of the author's search to understand the Buddha's relevance in a world where class oppression and religious violence are rife, and where poverty and terrorism cast a long, constant shadow. Mishra describes his restless journeys into India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, among Islamists and the emerging Hindu middle class, looking for this most enigmatic of religious figures, exploring the myths and places of the Buddha's life, and discussing Western explorers' "discovery" of Buddhism in the nineteenth century. He also considers the impact of Buddhist ideas on such modern politicians as Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. As he reflects on his travels and on his own past, Mishra shows how the Buddha wrestled with problems of personal identity, alienation, and suffering in his own, no less bewildering, times. In the process Mishra discovers the living meaning of the Buddha's teaching, in the world and for himself. The result is the most three-dimensional, convincing book on the Buddha that we have.

The Archaeology of the Deccan Routes

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Illustrations: 24 B/W Illustrations and 16 Maps Description: The Archaeology Of The Deccan Routes: The Ancient Routes From The Ganga Plain To The Deccan About the Book : This book sets out to trace the routs which linked the Ganga-Yamuna plain between Rajgriha and Mathura with Andhra and Maharashtra in the ancient period. What has emerged is the essential framework of a complex network of route still traceable on the ground. This network has also been compared with the corresponding evidence in the mediaeval and later historic records, and it has been argued that, although the routes of these later periods hyad partly changed their alignments with the rise of new economic and political centres of power, the ancient alingments did not die out but continued to function at the first field-study of its kind in the context of ancient Indian routes.
