Description
Buddhism and Immortality presents a comprehensive analysis of how Buddhist philosophy addresses the concept of immortality and eternal existence. William Sturgis Bigelow, a prominent Buddhist scholar, delves into the core teachings of various Buddhist traditions to illuminate their perspectives on the soul, rebirth, and spiritual liberation.
The work explores the paradox between Buddhist concepts of non-self (anatman) and the persistent consciousness that transmigrates through cycles of rebirth. Bigelow examines ancient texts and contemporary interpretations to clarify how immortality is understood not as an eternal individual soul, but as a continuous stream of consciousness that transcends physical death.
This philosophical investigation bridges Eastern spirituality with Western intellectual traditions, offering readers insight into Buddhist metaphysics and soteriology. The book serves both scholars of comparative religion and practitioners seeking deeper understanding of Buddhist doctrine regarding life, death, and spiritual continuity.
