Pankaj Mishra starts from the question of what Buddhism can offer today in a world marked by inequality, religious violence and terrorism. Pankaj Mishra's travels through India, Pakistan and Afghanistan bring him closer to the myths and places of the Buddha's life, and to Buddhism's imprint on figures such as Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.

For readers interested in Buddhism, spirituality and the relationship between religion and contemporary politics.
