Come spiegare un'arancia a chi non ne ha mai assaggiata una?

Per quanto si provi è impossibile, come lo è presentare i concetti fondamentali di una tradizione potente e trasformativa pari a quella del buddhismo, per la quale sono fondamentali guide sicure e prudenti, maestri che sappiano puntare il dito nella direzione giusta.

There's a lot you probably don't know about the Buddha. For one, the real Buddha was thin. And before he became the "Enlightened One", he was a pampered prince named Siddhartha. He tried starving himself in his quest for inner peace, but found that extremes brought him no closer to enlightenment.

Or has Buddhism become too detached, so still and quiet that the Buddha has fallen asleep?

In this book, twelve leading scholars of South Asian texts and traditions articulate the Buddha-life blueprint-the underlying and foundational pattern that holds the life story of a buddha together. They retell the episodes of Buddha Gautama's extended life story, while keeping in mind the cosmic, paradigmatic arc of his narrative. The contributors have dedicated their careers to exploring hagiographical materials, each applying their own methodological and theoretical interests to shed new light on the enduring story of Buddhism.
