After Buddhism Batchelor Stephen
A renowned Buddhist teacher's magnum opus, based on his fresh reading of the tradition's earliest textsSome twenty-five centuries after the Buddha started teaching, his message continues to inspire people across the globe, including those living in predominantly secular societies. The time has come, he feels, to articulate a coherent ethical, contemplative, and philosophical vision of Buddhism for our age. What does it mean to adapt religious practices to secular contexts?Stephen Batchelor, an internationally known author and teacher, is committed to a secularized version of the Buddha's teachings.
Combining critical readings of the earliest After Buddhism, the culmination of four decades of study and practice in the Tibetan, Zen, and Theravada traditions, is his attempt to set the record straight about who the Buddha was and what he was trying to teach.
