Freeing the Buddha: Diversity on a Sacred Path- Large Scale Concerns

This book is not written to reinvent the wheel and offer up “just another introduction to Buddhism.” This has a fresh approach to Buddhism which does not stir up dust in areas that most people have not thought of. There are Buddhist teachers who would discuss things privately such as Buddhist views on UFOs, Adolf Hitler and the historical Jesus, but they would not give public talks of publish books on such controversial subjects. The author has the courage to do so as he boldly discuses such topics in this book. The book is divided in two parts. Part I is a course in Buddhism comprising of topics such as Why Buddhists Meditate; How to Meditate; four Noble Truths; Buddhist History; Buddhist Cosmology; Awakened Heart; How to Invoke Devas; Buddhist Practices; Meaning and Purpose in Life; Teaching Philosophy. Part II consists of essays on Adolf Hitler and Tibetan Buddhism; Buddhism and UFOs; Rescuing Jesus from the Christians; Christian Meditation; Future Dharma and Anti-Dharma; Theravada Manifesto; Changing Buddha’s Words; the Virtue of Hiroshima; Buddhist and Taoist Military Strategy; Supernormal Powers etc.
