The God of Buddha

Synopsis

Mr. Fozdar's thesis dwells on a subject long since accepted as self-contradictory and hence taboo. Where God was they said, Buddha could not be and vice versa. Now we find upon deeper penetration of the Buddha's message that it was not always so and that the true and full meaning of his message can only be understood if the reality of his claim is predicated, as in the case of all other major religions, on the existence of God. Without a clear affirmation of the "Source of Divinity", Buddhism seemed as a tree without roots and "the ground of being", offering a meaningless extension as its final fruit. Mr. Fozdar's quest therefore has been to unearth and elaborate the Buddha's own sayings concerning the nature of that Primal Cause acknowledged by Him so as to remove the long accepted fallacy that, unlike the other great religions of the world, Buddhism rests on no divine revelation and leads to no eternal ends beyond that of total annihilation of the individual consciousness.
