About this audiobook
From enlightenment to global influence—how did Buddhism shape spiritual thought? Buddhism originated in ancient India with the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, and evolved into a philosophy and religion that spread across Asia and the world. This book explores the core principles of Buddhism, its different schools (Theravāda, Mahāyāna, Vajrayāna), and its impact on culture, art, and philosophy. The spread of Buddhism through China, Japan, and the West brought new interpretations and practices. If you seek wisdom and historical insight into one of the world’s oldest spiritual traditions, this book will be a fascinating read.
