The Dhamma Man
Author: Vilas Sarang
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 8184755678
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Siddharth Gautam; prince of Kapilavastu and heir to the throne; has everything. Yet he is dissatisfied. The fundamental problem of suffering; dukkha; bothers him. He leaves home; renouncing crown and family; and becomes a wandering seeker. Siddharth finds gurus to guide him; practises extreme asceticism—at one point nearly starving himself to death—and then rejects everything; for the knowledge he seeks constantly eludes him. He then meditates; and one epiphanic night; enlightenment comes to him; the startling insight into the human condition which makes him the Buddha. The Dhamma Man explores; sensitively and with great objectivity; Buddha as man—as son; husband and father. And even as Sarang tries to understand the effect Siddharth’s renunciation of the world had on his family; he celebrates Buddha; who not only launched a religion but has continued relevance today; more than two millennia after his death. Richly imagined and refreshingly original; The Dhamma Man is a whole new way to read the story of Buddha.

After Buddhism
Author: Stephen Batchelor
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 030020518X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
A renowned Buddhist teacher's magnum opus, based on his fresh reading of the tradition's earliest texts Some twenty-five centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts? Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha's teachings. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age. After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen, and Theravada traditions, is his attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach. Combining critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha's inner circle, Batchelor depicts the Buddha as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician. He envisions Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening whose long survival is due to its capacity to reinvent itself and interact creatively with each society it encounters. This original and provocative book presents a new framework for understanding the remarkable spread of Buddhism in today's globalized world. It also reminds us of what was so startling about the Buddha's vision of human flourishing.
