«Buddha y el evangelio del budismo» is the essay on Buddhism by Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (240 pages).
The book examines the canonical texts and Buddhist traditions to explain the central message of the Buddha, and relates them to Brahmanical roots and parallels in Christian mysticism. It thus seeks to present Buddhism as a doctrine and spiritual path with the utmost clarity.
The original English edition was published in 1916 as 'Buddha and the Gospel of Buddhism'. This Spanish edition belongs to the Orientalia collection.
Recommended for readers interested in Eastern philosophy, comparative religion, and Buddhist spirituality.
Ananda Kentish Muthu Coomaraswamy was a Ceylonese metaphysician, historian and a philosopher of Indian art who was an early interpreter of Indian culture to the West. He has been described as "the groundbreaking theorist who was largely responsible for introducing ancient Indian art to the West".
