This new book by scholar orientalist and sceptic Dennis P. Samuels follows the mysterious journey of young Jesus at a time that ancient Buddhist wisdom washed over the Middle East, ancient Greece and Egyptian Alexandria. A novel, a historic investigation and a modern spiritual exploration of the early ties of Christianity with Eastern spirituality - an experiment that upset the Jewish culture and changed the course of history. Based on Christian apocrypha, Greek artefacts and authentic Buddhist Suttas "Buddha Laughed" will challenge everything you thought you knew about (your) religion.
