Buddha and Buddhism
Buddhism is currently one of the most important religions in the world, and in the Western world in terms of the number of followers (300,000 Buddhists in Spain, 200,000 in Mexico, 900,000 in France...). Many people are interested in Buddhist philosophy to include it in their daily lives. Originally from the Indian area of the Ganges and spread throughout most of Asia, it has now spread throughout the Western world, as we have already mentioned.
Its name has its origin in the adjective with which its founder, Buddha, was known, that is to say, "awakened", "enlightened"; a term that refers both to the historical character who is at the origin of the doctrine and to the state that each person can reach if he follows the example of the Master. Buddha was a being who radiated with his presence wherever he went.
He reached out to others through his kindness and his disinterest in material things, so that he quickly acquired the status of an example. With this book you will learn all about this great figure and the doctrine he preached: his life, the historical sources of the Buddhist faith, the different schools of Buddhism and its expansion... An essential work for all those who want to know Buddhism in depth and open their mind and spirit to the teachings of a doctrine that brings hope and liberation.
