In this magisterial study of the social elan of early Buddhism Nalin Swaris argues that the radical thrust of the Buddha?s teaching is based on his realization that ?the individual? is a fiction of human craving The Buddha?s decision to found a community of compassion and sharing was the practical expression of his conviction that individualism is the principal obstacle to human happiness The Buddha?s Way was not discovered and preached in a social vacuum Orthodox Hinduism classifies its sacred traditions into srutis sacred truths of the Vedas ?heard? by ancient rishis while in a trance and smritis codes of conduct In deliberate counterpoint to the Brahman tradition the majority of the Buddha?s discourses begin with the declaration Evam me sutam ?Thus have I heard? Swaris argues persuasively that Buddha?s teachings are not esoteric but grounded in everyday life The Dhamma is not a revealed truth that humans could not have discovered by themselves It is like a light brought into a darkened room so that people could see what is already there once the fog of delusion is dispelled In a style that would appeal to both lay readers and scholars Swaris shows how the Buddha anticipated Marx Derrida and Foucault by centuries 388 pp. Artikel-Nr. 98630
