Every day, in temples and homes across the world, three lines are recited without a second thought: I go for refuge to the Buddha. I go for refuge to the Dhamma. I go for refuge to the Sangha.

This book asks a simple, unsettling question — what if that is not what those three lines were ever meant to say? Navayana follows Siddhartha from a sheltered childhood to the night under the bodhi tree, then further, into a modern recovery of his teaching built for a world that no longer accepts inherited hierarchy as fate.

The Four Noble Truths appear here not as doctrine to be believed, but as a diagnosis to be tested: alienation as the deepest wound modern life produces, craving as the mistake that keeps producing it, the Middle Way as a philosophy holding structure and change together instead of choosing between them, and the Eightfold Path as a discipline any reader can begin practicing today.

Written for anyone who has ever sensed that their life, their relationships, or their society could hold far more warmth and dignity than they currently do, and wondered whether that sense was naive. It was correct. This book is about what to do next
