Features: The book introduces readers to the real historical figure of Sakyamuni and the Buddhism he founded, not a deified Buddha but the Buddhism as seen by everyone. Therefore, the title is "The Human Buddha and Original Buddhism." Original Buddhism spans from the time Sakyamuni founded Buddhism until over a hundred years after his passing, culminating in the completion of the seven councils at Vesali. This period can be considered a significant historical phase.
