Publisher's Synopsis
Buddha was great philosopher who came near to revolutionising the religious thought and feeling of all Asia. The starting point of Gautama Buddha's philosophy was his own question as a fortunate young man, "Why am I not completely happy?" It was an introspective question. It was a question very different in quality from the Self-forgetful externalised curiosity with which the philosophers of that time were attacking the problems of the universe. Buddha concentrated upon Self and sought to destroy it.
