Stripping Away Reincarnation and Dogma to Discover the Historical Buddha

After spending ten years as a fully ordained monk in Tibetan and Korean Zen monasteries, scholar Stephen Batchelor began questioning traditional religious doctrines like karma, reincarnation, and institutional hierarchy. Re-translating early Pali texts, Batchelor reconstructs the Buddha not as a divine figure, but as an existential, pragmatic philosopher for the modern secular world.

Batchelor weaves his personal spiritual journey with sharp historical analysis to propose a secular, humanistic approach to mindfulness.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Stephen Batchelor combines monastic autobiography with sharp intellectual inquiry. A groundbreaking spiritual memoir for secular mindfulness practitioners and philosophy readers.
