The Buddha is a giant of humanity. He gives his name to one of the five great religions of the world, rich in philosophical, psychological and spiritual insights, with over 350 million practitioners in every country on the planet and a history stretching back 2,500 years.

How much do we really know about this extraordinary man who was born into luxury but gave it all up in pursuit of truth? What did he teach? Why was he visionary? And why is Buddhism so urgently needed today? Tony Morris is Chair of the Bleddfa Centre for the Creative Spirit, a Trustee of the Oxford Centre for Buddhist Studies, and the founder of Mud Pie Books.
