Reviews

This is sure to become an invaluable resource for the teaching of Buddhism at undergraduate level. Rather than limiting Buddhism to the conceptual categories of ‘world religions’ textbooks, each chapter presents clearly written explorations of key issues in the study of Buddhism including monasticism, ritual, economics, and engaged Buddhism. * Scott A. Mitchell, Rev. Yoshitaka Tamai Professor of Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Studies, Institute of Buddhist Studies, USA * It would be impossible to create an exhaustive guide to Buddhism, but somehow the authors have managed to truly gather the essentials into one readable volume. The balance of accessibility, detail, historical context, and nuance is beyond what I have found in other textbooks. * Jessica Starling, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Lewis and Clark College, USA *
