He also considers the impact of Buddhist ideas on such modern politicians as Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. \u003cbr\u003eAs he reflects on his travels and on his own past, Mishra shows how the Buddha wrestled with problems of personal identity, alienation, and suffering in his own, no less bewildering, times. In the process Mishra discovers the living meaning of the Buddha's teaching, in the world and for himself. The result is the most three-dimensional, convincing book on the Buddha that we have.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"End to Suffering: The Buddha in the World | Pankaj Mishra | Hardcover | 9780374148362 | Used: Very Good | Religion \u0026 Spirituality 1659961","offer_id":48371663962264,"sku":"1659961","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71ScqKL8KcL.jpg?v=1773267694","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/end-to-suffering-the-buddha-in-the-world","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
