Through the lesser-known stories of his ministerial life the book seeks to discover the Buddha his disciples knew, not the Buddha of legend nor of learned abstract discourses, but the human being who lived and taught. Then on the long train journey from northern India to Wardha, near Gandhi's ashram the book reviews the main events of Gandhi's life, connecting them where possible with the teaching of the Buddha. This fascinating work will be of interest to students of Asian studies, Buddhism, Gandhi studies and Indian philosophy.
