Sabaoth Brahma
An Extensive Cosmology of the Thirty-One Planes of Existence
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Sabaoth Brahma presents a comprehensive and imaginative exploration of the Thirty-One Planes of Existence through the lens of the Akṣobhyavyūha Framework, offering a unique comparative study that brings Buddhist cosmology into conversation with Abrahamic symbolism. Rather than attempting to replace the doctrines of any religious tradition, this work invites readers to explore resonances, archetypes, and symbolic correspondences across civilizations.
Drawing upon the cosmological structure of the Buddhist suttas and Mahāyāna traditions, the book examines the realms of desire, form, and formlessness while interpreting them alongside figures and symbols associated with Judaism, Christianity, and related Abrahamic traditions. The result is a richly layered cosmological model that encourages philosophical reflection on consciousness, spiritual development, morality, and the nature of existence.
Inside, readers will discover:
• A systematic examination of the Thirty-One Planes of Buddhist cosmology.
• An in-depth presentation of the Akṣobhyavyūha Framework as an interpretive model.
• Comparative analyses of Buddhist and Abrahamic cosmological symbolism.
• Discussions of Mount Meru, heavenly realms, Brahmā worlds, Pure Lands, celestial hierarchies, and spiritual ascent.
• Symbolic mappings that encourage dialogue between Eastern and Western religious traditions while respecting their distinct identities.
• Clear explanations designed for both newcomers and experienced students of comparative religion.
Whether you are a student of Buddhism, an explorer of comparative theology, or simply fascinated by humanity's diverse visions of the cosmos, Sabaoth Brahma offers an ambitious journey through one of the world's most profound spiritual maps, inviting readers to contemplate reality from multiple sacred perspectives.
