Il libro mette a confronto i passi del vangelo con i passi del Dhammapada, mettendo in risalto sorprendenti similitudini.

Questa disposizione all'apertura ha fatto sì che il mondo antico non abbia conosciuto quella violenza a carattere religioso che invece ha insanguinato, e spesso ancora insanguina, le culture monoteiste.
