Uncover the Untold Story of Buddhism: Rebellion, Enlightenment, and Global Impact
Did you know Buddhism emerged as a direct challenge to the dominant beliefs of ancient India?
This audiobook is a gripping journey into the heart of a movement that defied tradition and offered radical hope.
Imagine a young prince, Siddhartha Gautama, looking at the prevailing Hindu concept of endless rebirth and seeing not destiny, but a prison. His quest was for a path to liberation for everyone. His answer ignited a movement, a way to break free from the cycle of suffering in this life, that resonated deeply with the masses and threatened the established religious order.
Though eventually marginalized in its homeland, Buddhism embarked on an extraordinary odyssey, finding new fertile ground across Asia and, centuries later, captivating the Western world. Today, its principles continue to evolve, inspire, and offer profound insights.
