Description

Buddhism is a concise and readable survey of the history of Buddhism, from its roots in India to its spread across South and East Asia and its present day manifestation in Europe and America. Focusing particularly on the modern period, it provides a valuable introduction to the different paths of Buddhism - the beliefs and practices - and looks at the ways in which this religion is meeting the challenges of the modern world.
