The Spirit of Buddhism: A Christian Perspective on Buddhist Thought

by David Burnett

Description

The Buddha lived about 2500 years ago in India on the borders of what is now Nepal, and achieved a unique experience which he described as enlightenment. Around this experience the Buddha constructed an elegant philosophy that is both simple in its character and logical in its analysis.
