内容説明
This title looks at Mahatma Gandhi: his life, his work and his legacy. It follows his early influences from Jainism to Buddhism, and focuses on his unique philosophy of non-violence in the face of brutality, as well as providing a biography of the man within. His yogic resolve to dedicate himself to the nationalist struggle for liberating India from British imperial rule inspired millions to follow his passionate lead on the road to freedom. Gandhi taught his followers to set aside fear of prison, physical punishment or death, while at the same time insisting that violence had no place in the Satyagraha campaign, arguing that non-violence or love was the essence of God. Early influenced by the non-violence teachings of Jainism, Jesus Christ, and Buddha, Gandhi insisted on the primacy of love for one's adversary in any conflict, convinced that this mighty power would ultimately disarm the cruellest enemy.
