Buddhism: Beliefs and Practices (The Sussex Library of Religious Beliefs & Practice) - Softcover
There is an immense diversity and richness in the matrix of belief systems commonly known as "Buddhism". And it is the enormity of this richness that makes the study of Buddhism such a fascinating and enthralling journey. Assuming no previous knowledge, issues such as the legacy of India and the life of the Buddha are discussed. Later section include: the beliefs and practices of the Mahayanna and Theravada schools, with particular emphasis on the four main Mahayana schools of Nicheren, Tibetan, Zen and Pure Land: the Four Noble Truths: the Buddhist councils: rebirth: meditation: festivals: concepts of reality: and Yoga.
