Why God Became a Buddha is an upcoming release by Metteyya Brahmana that explores the Buddha's past lives as a God, and why he chose spiritual liberation as a fully enlightened Buddha in his final rebirth as a human being rather than return to God status in a heavenly realm.
Metteyya also connects the dots between the God in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism to the Buddha's past lives as a God, and exposes how the continued clinging to form, individuation, and sense phenomena made life as a God imperfect and dissatisfying, despite extraordinary power, authority, and bliss.
Metteyya's clear and graceful writing style makes understanding the Buddhist world of the heavens accessible even to the non-Buddhist, and this book is a must read for anyone who is interested in knowing the unique and precious status of birth as a human being and the opportunity it provides to become liberated from that which makes us suffer.
