Adolf Hitler and Tibetan Buddhism

Adolf Hitler and Tibetan Buddhism

By Brian Ruhe · Published by Motilal Banarsidass

Who it's for: Buddhists and readers interested in unconventional perspectives on Buddhism

Brian Ruhe, a dedicated Buddhist since 1991 and former monk in Thailand, has imparted the wisdom of Theravada Buddhism and meditation to over 15,000 individuals. His teachings span Adult Education courses at Capilano University, the Vancouver School Board, and numerous meditation retreats across Vancouver, Canada, over the past 20 years. Rooted in the Thai Forest tradition of Ajahn Chah, Brian brings a unique voice to the Buddhist community, complemented by his extensive library of thousands of online videos. This book is not another traditional introduction to Buddhism. Instead, it offers a fresh and provocative approach, delving into areas rarely explored. Brian boldly addresses controversial subjects such as Buddhist perspectives on Adolf Hitler’s metaphysical influence, UFOs, the historical Jesus, and contradictions within Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism when compared to the Buddha’s original teachings. Topics often confined to private discussions among Buddhist teachers are brought to light in this compelling work. Why You Should Read This Book: Unconventional Insights: Explore bold, thought-provoking topics rarely discussed in Buddhist literature. Authentic Experience: Learn from Brian’s extensive real-world teaching background and deep-rooted Buddhist practice. Challenge Traditional Views: Engage with controversial subjects that challenge mainstream Buddhist narratives. Fresh Perspective: Experience a breath of fresh air in the ancient teachings of Buddhism with Brian’s fearless approach. Awaken Curiosity: Stimulate your mind with fiery, edgy content that encourages deep reflection and personal growth. “This book is writing that wakes us up. Brian has a hawkish intelligence full of fiery stir-up-the-pot, in-your-face, piss-and-vinegar chutzpah. And in a religion as ancient as Buddhism, such edginess is a welcome breath of fresh air!”
