Origins of Buddhism: History of an Ancient Faith

In this bedtime story, I tell you all about Buddhism: the beliefs and culture of Ancient India; the life of Siddartha Gautama, the historical Buddha; how Buddhism spread in Asia; the differences between various Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Zen, Tibetan or Tantric Buddhism...); and I explain a lot of terms that you might have encountered without knowing their full meanings, like Vedas, Karma, Middle Way, Samsara, Tantra and Mantra.
