Discover:

The Buddha and his teachings.

The diversity of Buddhism.

Buddhist values and practices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buddhism, 13 May 2003
By D. George "terrapin-monster" (u.k) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The number of people practising Buddhism in the West is growing fast, but the variety of its forms, and the unfamiliarity of its teachings can sometimes confuse the general enquirer or student. This book aims to give a clear and informative introduction to Buddhism today, and to provide a solid basis for understanding the Buddhist path in its many forms. It examines the Buddha's teachings about life, and the many practices that have developed out of them over the last two and a half thousand years.

It includes:
Buddhists and Buddhism
the Buddha and his teachings
the diversity of Buddhism
Buddhist meditation and devotion
Buddhist values
customs, festivals and ceremonies
Buddhism today: East and West

The book also includes suggestions for further reading, sources for information on Buddhism, and a glossary of Buddhist terms.

Clive Erricker is a lecturer and prolific writer in the field of religious studies, and has a special interest in Buddhism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very accessible, 7 May 2002
This books provides an insight into Buddhism. Very useful for Religious Studies at a variety of levels and also very useful if you are interested in Buddhism and what its all about. The book is best used as a 'textbook' selecting areas that you are interested in. The section on Western Buddhism is insightful, as this can get over looked.
The book gives a clear idea of Buddhism in the modern day.
