History of Buddhism

Buddhism, a fundamentally non-theistic religion, has developed a profound and systematic Eastern philosophy grounded in the core principle of dependent origination. From Hinayana, through Mahayana, and finally to Yogacara, Buddhism navigates man on inward contemplation and mental investigation, a path to Truth. In this lecture series, we offer audiences a comprehensive overview of Buddhist thought. We trace its spiritual lineage from the Buddha’s enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree to its modern iterations, allowing listeners to surf the enduring charm of this ancient Eastern philosophy.
