Drawing on his deep knowledge of Eastern spirituality and esoteric traditions, Edward Heneage Dering presents a bold vision of Buddhism as a path to atheism and enlightenment. Through a close reading of Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, Dering argues that Buddhism offers a radical alternative to traditional Western religions, grounded in reason, science, and personal experience. Esoteric Buddhism is a challenging and thought-provoking work that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality and philosophy.
