«Le Bouddhisme du Bouddha» is Alexandra David-Néel's essay on Buddhism, published by Pocket in paperback (317 pages, in French).
The book starts from the biography of Siddhartha Gautama to present the Buddha's message, his doctrines and his methods, and analyzes his Mahayana and Tantric developments in Tibet. Alexandra David-Néel, one of the first Western women to reach Tibet, brings this spirituality closer to the Western reader.
The full title includes the subtitle «Ses doctrines, ses méthodes et ses développements mahâyânistes et tantriques au Tibet».
A book suitable for readers new to Buddhism and for those already familiar with the subject, thanks to its accessible approach.
