The Doctrine of Awakening : The Attainment of Self-Mastery According to the Earliest Buddhist Texts (Paperback)

"This book, Evola's masterwork on Buddhism and probably his most "mainstream" book, is undoubtedly the single most informative document you can find regarding Buddhism, or what Evola terms the "Doctrine of Awakening". Many reviewers here express concern over Evola's use of the word "Aryan"- in order that he is not misunderstood, I will mention here that Evola's conception of race was very different from the stereotypical "zoological" racism of today (he believed in a "race" of the spirit which was much more important than the race of the body). Besides, he is simply clarifying what was a very important part of early Buddhism- the Doctrine of Awakening was and is intended for the "ariya", the nobles, the "kshattriya" warrior caste.

This aside, Evola's book is brilliant for several reasons. For one, he applies the same intense intellectual erudition which is common to all of his books. He is completely sincere, and absolutely nobody could possibly come away from this book believing that Evola was dishonest, whatever their other conclusions. In addition to the benefits of Evola's remarkably clear and lucid style, we have the actual book itself- "The Doctrine of Awakening" clears away the bramble which has grown up around Buddhism. Besides destroying "New Age" interpretations of Buddhism, which are pretty much based on prejudices which westerners have held since the 19th century (according to which Buddhism is an atheistic and humanitarian doctrine which aims at complete non-existence to escape from "suffering"), Evola also shows that the later "theological" interpretations, such as Tibetan "Mahayana" Buddhism, misunderstand the true spirit of the original Doctrine. Any student of Buddhism should own this book- it is probably the only one you will need on the subject."

"Buddhism is the topic, but not the limits of what is discussed. Evola introduces esoteric, or non-standardized, philosophy through this book and explains its basic tenets: all can seek varying degrees of truth, truth is found through experience and contemplation, and all truth relates to a cosmic order and not the individual. Ancient Buddhism was apparently a far cry from the sissified, pacifistic and whine-prone modern variety. Evola's is a warlike Buddhism full of fire for setting the world aright without the ego-drama and stupidity of modernity."
