An End to Suffering

Is the Buddha still relevant today and if so in what way? Pankaj Mishra tries to answer this question as he travels through poverty-ridden South Asia to gilded Europe and America. Along the way he discovers how Buddhist thought has flowered even in a materialistic world and reveals the parallels between the age of the Buddha and the contemporary world. A rich challenging and deeply contemplative work An End to Suffering is regarded as many to be Mishras masterpiece.
