Description
Stephen Batchelor's magnum opus offers a fresh perspective on the Buddha's teachings for a secular age. After decades of study and practice, Batchelor presents a coherent vision of Buddhism as a constantly evolving culture of awakening. This book combines critical readings of the earliest canonical texts with narrative accounts of five members of the Buddha's inner circle, depicting him as a pragmatic ethicist rather than a dogmatic metaphysician.
