Beschreibung
Based on interviews with Buddhists living in both the West and the East, this is an innovative introduction to an ancient but continually expanding religion.

Together with an accessible overview of the history, beliefs, practices and rituals of the tradition, this title offers a reservoir of personal insights, both scholarly and non-scholarly. Covering everything from the life of the Buddha to meditation, the book also provides commentary on a host of relevant contemporary issues, including ecological awareness and the role of women in Buddhism.

Providing a unique perspective on what it means to be a Buddhist today, this book will be a source of inspiration for anyone interested in the Buddhist tradition and in the commitment and vision of its practitioners.
