Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an insightful exploration of the life and teachings of Acvaghosha, a prominent Buddhist philosopher who lived in India between the first century BCE and the first century CE. The author delves into the complex and often contradictory accounts of Acvaghosha's life, piecing together a fascinating portrait of a man who was both a renowned Brahman scholar and a dedicated Buddhist.
