BUDDHA

Traditional religious discourses have failed to account for the biological process involved in the attaining of Nirvana. Drawing from sources as varied as the Pali canon Mahayana texts Zen Buddhism J. Krishnamurti Ramana Maharshi U.G. Krishnamurti Nietzsche postmodernist thinkers and biological sciences The Buddha retells the story of the Buddha and discusses his teachings in physical and physiological terms. This radical new reading turns most of the central spiritual concepts on their head and hopes in the course of time to put an end to the rivalry between science and religion and indeed among the various religions.
