From Nothingness to Personhood is an important work that explores Buddhism an the deeply buried roots of the Buddhist tradition. These roots are found in pre-Buddhist India, where little-known Sanskrit texts and the commentaries od Vaishnava sages illuminates the identity of the Buddha and his path to enlightenment. With this as a focus, From Nothingness to Personhood affords its readers a unique look at Buddhism from the perspective of its parent faith, Vaisnava-Hinduism, the primary seed from which the tree of Buddhist dharma originally sprouted.
