The Semi-Buddhist Essenes

The Semi-Buddhist Essenes is a book written by Dwight Goddard. The book explores the similarities between the Essenes, an ancient Jewish sect, and Buddhism. It suggests that the Essenes were influenced by Buddhist teachings, which were introduced to them through trade routes and cultural exchange.
