From its origins in India over two millennia ago, Buddhism spread throughout Asia and the world. This far-reaching and accessible introduction explains how Buddhism began, developed into its present-day form, and evolved in the West—where it now exerts increasing cultural influence. Complete with maps, diagrams, and illustrations, Buddhism provides detailed coverage of key topics such as karma, rebirth, meditation, and ethics, along with the distinguishing features of the main schools.
Buddhism Reviews
-
Great first book to start with, easy to read, fun and informative. Learned a great deal in a small package.
-
I like the books in this series. They offer you a really good overview of a topic when you would like to know a little bit more about something in and of itself or as a supplement to something else you're reading or to which you are otherwise exposed.
