The contributors to India's cultural heritage have been innumerable. Of them, history has left for the posterity the accounts of just a few. This illuminating booklet primarily focuses on the impact that the life and teachings of one of these great contributors, viz. Buddha, had on the already rich legacy that India had inherited.
Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.
-Swami Vivekananda
