Brave New World contains so much philosophy of note that it is
unsurprising that Huxley's integration of Buddhist elements might
go unnoticed. Indeed, amidst Huxley's social commentary, his biting
satire, and his critiques of technology, hedonism, and sexual
simplicity among others, it is easy to circumnavigate his
comparatively pedestrian Buddhist borrowings. It may be in these
Buddhist elements, however, that many of Brave New World 's
essential truths are revealed. While Brave New World perhaps cannot
quite comfortably be termed an endorsement of the Buddhist way,
while the Buddhist system of thought is not necessarily the focus
of the novel, and while the novel can be meaningfully discussed in
other contexts..... the added significance revealed by the super
imposition of Siddhartha Gautama upon it should not be overlooked.
Brave New World explores many facts of Buddhist culture, beliefs
and ideals in one form or the other.
