Description
Buddhism is one of the oldest and largest of the world's religions.
But it is also a tradition that has proven to have enormous contemporary relevance.
Founded by Siddhartha Gautama, who came to be called the Buddha, the religion has spread from its origins in northeast India, across Asia, and eventually to the West, taking on new forms at each step of the way.
Buddhism: What Everyone Needs to Know offers readers a brief, authoritative guide to one of the world's most diverse religious traditions in a reader-friendly question-and-answer format.
Dale Wright covers the origins and early history of Buddhism, the diversity of types of Buddhism throughout history, and the status of contemporary Buddhism.
This is a go-to book for anyone seeking a basic understanding of the origins, history, teachings, and practices of Buddhism.
