Reviews:

"The history of the Buddha is compelling. To know the truth of where and how Buddhism all began still holds mystery...The Buddha from Babylon could be the answer to many questions... This is a fascinating and hugely informative read."
— Mariel Hemingway, actor and producer

"Without being divisive or declaratory, The Buddha from Babylon seemsto want us to connect with the Buddha who truly knew humanity, and therefore truly knew compassion...an alternate chapter in the much-studied and worshiped life of the great spiritual sage...respectfully probing at revered writings...will provoke spirited debate...blends historical fact and rich prose like the spinning of empyrean silk...offers an engrossing review of the Buddha’s life and wisdom."
— Foreword Reviews by Meg Nola

The Buddha from Babylon appears at a critical time.… Turning common understanding of who Buddha is on its head, I believe, this is the most comprehensively written and researched piece intertwining cosmic, religious and political history. As essentially a theory of everything, this seminal work offers interfaith scholars and spiritual activists a new understanding of Buddha’s role, our origin, our interconnectedness and thus the transformational strategies we need to truly shape our shared future."
