Here is a comprehensive dictionary of the Buddhist religion, providing a detailed introduction to the history, doctrine, and practice of the Buddhist faith in more than two hundred entries. For students in the field and for those who are approaching Buddhism for the first time in connection with the current wave of public interest in Eastern religion, the dictionary presents clear and concise definitions of Buddhist terms, descriptions of Buddhist attitudes toward ethical problems, historical surveys of the spread of Buddhism, and explanations of Buddhist doctrine and of the subject matter of Buddhist art. Most entries are cross-referenced and contain a bibliography, enabling the reader to pursue his interest in the subject further. --Back coverCollection
