Buddha: A Very Short Introduction

The Buddha: A Very Short Introduction examines the complex and sometimes conflicting information that Buddhist texts give about the life and teaching of the Buddha. What can we learn about the social and political background of India in the Buddha's time? How did his thought develop into what constitutes Buddhist thought today? How has Buddhism survived so well through the centuries? What is the contemporary relevance of Buddhism? His teaching prospered throughout the subcontinent of India for more than 1,500 years and by the 13th century ad it had spread. Until the 20th century, the Buddha was probably the most influential thinker in human history.
