A propos de cet article

Paperback. A comprehensive narrative history of Buddhism-from Siddhartha's awakening to the age of AI and mindfulness apps.In 483 BCE, an eighty-year-old teacher died beneath a sal tree in northern India. Today, more than 2,500 years later, over 500 million people follow his path. But the full story of how the teachings of one wandering ascetic became a global religion remains largely unknown outside specialist circles.Who was the Buddha as a human being?Buddha and His Legacy uncovers the journey of the prince who abandoned privilege, confronted suffering, and spent forty-five years reshaping how millions understood reality. Unlike traditional devotional texts or dense academic monographs, this book tells the complete story in a single, accessible narrative.Tracing Buddhism from its origins in ancient India to its global presence today, the book follows the transformations that carried the Buddha's insight across empires, cultures, and centuries-from Indian philosophers and Tibetan yogis to Japanese warrior-monks and the rise of Western mindfulness.This book explores fascinating historical questions: Why did princes become beggars?How did a religion of peace spread through warrior kingdoms?Why do neuroscientists now study monks' brains?How did Buddhism evolve from a radical reform movement into the diverse traditions of Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana?Written for the general reader but grounded in rigorous scholarship, this volume synthesizes insights from archaeology, history, and anthropology. It treats Buddhism as both philosophy and religion, historical force and personal practice-without advocating for conversion.Includes: A detailed chronology, glossary of key terms, bibliography for further reading, and descriptive map overviews to guide you through the historical landscape.For readers of narrative history and Eastern philosophy, this is an essential exploration of how one man's insight became one of the world's most influential traditions.
