Publisher's Synopsis
Nirvana Without a Creator: The Real Theology of Buddhism
Is Buddhism an atheistic religion-or something far more profound?
This groundbreaking book offers a deep investigation into one of the most debated questions in world spirituality. Nirvana Without a Creator takes readers on a journey through the philosophical, psychological, and cosmological dimensions of Buddhism, from its earliest scriptures to its modern secular adaptations.
Drawing from the Tevijja Sutta, Theravada and Mahayana traditions, and even mindfulness movements of the West, this book uncovers how Buddhism reimagines the divine-not as an all-powerful Creator but as something internal, symbolic, and transformative.
