The Doctrine of Awakening
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Doctrine of Awakening is a book by Julius Evola, first published as La dottrina del risveglio in 1943, and translated into English by H. E. Musson in 1951. The book was based on translations from the Buddhist Pali Canon by Karl Eugen Neumann and Giuseppe De Lorenzo [it]. Evola was not a practicing Buddhist, but the topic had personal significance to him, since a passage from the Majjhima Nikaya had dissuaded him from committing suicide in 1922.[1] It was the first of Evola's works to be translated into English.[2]
