I think many great works of literature can be attributed a fundamentally spiritual quality about them. But do you guys know of some good novels that are quite explicitly buddhist in nature? I'm thinking of something like Siddhartha or Dharma Bums....
I'm reading Lord of Light by Robert Zelazny. It's a spiritual/sci-fi novel in which Siddhartha reincarnates on a future planet that has been corrupted by Hindu gods. Very clever and visionary. I'm digging it.
