Philip Almonds engaging new book is the first to combine a history of early traditions about Siddhartha Gautamas life with an authoritative account of how he and the tantalizing philosophy inspired by him came to the attention of the West. It takes the reader on a remarkable journey encompassing (among other topics) Alexander the Great, the courts of the Mongol Khans, Jesuit missions to China and Japan, and intrepid European travellers and scholars from the modern era. Melding Pali and Sanskrit sources with vivid reception, Almond presents the Buddhas story as multi-layered: one of transition from a world of angels and demons, water and tree spirits, to an altogether different context where Buddhism mixed with the cultural preoccupations of those who tentatively sometimes following false trails tried to make sense of its fascinating complexity.</p>...4457180The Buddha635774https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-buddha-9781009346825/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4354984/image.jpg?v=638446689643770000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4352317/image.jpg?v=638446684632000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781009346825_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9781009346825_<p>Alongside Jesus and Muhammad, the Buddha is the most significant figure in the history of religion.
