Treasure of Buddhism Paperback

Description

Those seeking an antidote to new age materialism and the empty claims of pseudo-spirituality will find it in Schuon`s incisive discernment of the intrinsic orthodoxy of Buddhism. Far from discounting the providential “mythology” of the person of the Buddha, the author relates its historical phenomenon to their celestial roots in the Divine qualities and to the human virtues that form the necessary framework for a spiritual life providing an important key to understanding the differences between Western philosophical “individualism” and the serenity of Eastern metaphysics.
