Book Review:
Buddhism, a branch of philosophy, holds a central place in Borges' body of work. The perception of the cosmos as a labyrinth or paradox, the negation of the Self, questioning Western concepts of time, and the unique notion that the world is fiction and reality a dream, among other ideas, traverse the author's essays, stories, and poems from his earliest texts. These notions represent a particular literary reformulation of some core tenets of this doctrine. Written from a series of lectures and first published in 1976 in collaboration with Alicia Jurado, "What is Buddhism" is a fascinating exploration through one of the world's most well-known yet misconstrued practices. It spans from the historical origins of Buddha to theories of reincarnation, serving as an indispensable work to understand the entirety of the Borgesian universe.
