The Spirit of Buddhism

by Hari Singh Gour

Buddhism has become increasingly popular in the West and many other parts of the world today. However, unfortunately, it has become extinct in the very land of its birth. The Spirit of Buddhism fills the yawning gap between the Buddhists all over the world and its historical and geographical roots. The relevance of Gautam Buddh's life and teachings in the twenty-first century have been dealt with in great detail, making insightful comparisions with other world religions such as Hinduism and Christianity. Light has also been shed on Buddhist mythology and the differences amongst various schools and sects of Buddhism with elegance and objectivity.
