Riassunto

Founded by Buddha, the "Enlightened One", around 500 BC, Buddhism spread rapidly from India to Tibet, China, south-east Asia, Japan and Korea. A highly practical religion, Buddhism has been adapted by the local culture, customs and beliefs of communities wherever it has gained acceptance. As a result, several schools of Buddhism have developed, each with their own sacred texts. This anthology, which explains the history, theology and spirituality of Buddhism, is part of a series which examines the great spiritual traditions of mankind. The volume contains daily readings from Buddhist texts and commentaries which explain to non-Buddhist readers the fundamental ideas of the religion. Keeny Brown also wrote "The Essential Teachings of Hinduism" and he wrote "The Essential Teaching of Islam" together with Martin Palmer.
