The Buddha in the World: Now with a New Introduction by Pico Iyer

von Pankaj Mishra

Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Is the Buddha still relevant today and, if so, in what way? Pankaj Mishra tries to answer this question as he travels through poverty-ridden South Asia to gilded Europe and America. Along the way he discovers how Buddhist thought has flowered even in a materialistic world, and reveals the parallels between the age of the Buddha and the contemporary world. A rich, challenging and deeply contemplative work, An End to Suffering is regarded as many to be Mishra's masterpiece.
