Buddhist Myths

This audiobook introduces Buddhism in an accessible and understandable way as one of the most significant world religions. It covers its history, key figures, core principles and terms, as well as the philosophy of life that attracts attention far beyond the Asian continent. The book explains what it means to be a Buddhist and why Buddhism can take different forms.

You will learn about the life of Shakyamuni Buddha— his childhood and life path. You’ll discover the cycle of samsara, the structure and inhabitants of Buddhist hell, and how Buddhism is connected to Hinduism. How did familiar Hindu deities— such as Brahma, Indra, Agni, Shiva, Kali, Lakshmi, and others— appear within a non-religious system? Who are buddhas, bodhisattvas, and siddhas? What awaits pretas— eternally hungry spirits? And what happens in the most terrible circle of Buddhist hell— Avīci?
