Why this book matters: a clear, critical look at Buddhism’s history and its present form
This work surveys Buddhism from its founder’s ideas to how it appears today, including its diverse regional expressions. It candidly assesses how the religion’s core features have shaped both its strengths and its enduring challenges.
The author blends historical detail with thoughtful analysis, showing how Buddhism has influenced civilizations while raising questions about its fundamental principles. The book also explores Tibetan Lamaism, sacred buildings, monastic life, and the range of Buddhist deities and celestial figures across regions.
- How Buddhism evolved from its origins to its many modern forms
- Varieties of worship, including celestial Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and local deities
- Descriptions of monasteries, temples, and monastic life in different cultures
- Regional differences, from Tibet to Ceylon and beyond, and their impact on practice
Ideal for readers of religious history and students seeking a clear, grounded view of Buddhism’s development and present conditions.
