Synopsis:
Batchelor proposes a profound and passionate agnosticism as an authentic approach to dharma, as historically Buddhism has tended to lose its agnostic dimension through becoming institutionalised as a religion.
His critical examination of Buddhism strips it bare and demystifies it for the modern Western reader, without jargon or obscure terminology. He claims that the Buddha was not a mystic and his awakening not a shattering revelation that revealed the mysteries of the universe - what the Buddha taught was not something to believe in, but something to do. The Buddha challenged people to understand the nature of anguish, let go of its origins, realize its cessation and create a certain way of life and awakening. This awakening is available to all of us, and Batchelor shows how to work realistically towards it, and how to practise and live it every day. |
