What in Brief Is Buddhism?
What in Brief is Buddhism is at once an erudite and accessible guide to the fundamental teachings of Buddhism, as well as to the major aspects of its practice. Divided into pithy and clearly delineated chapters, the book covers topics ranging from the roots of Buddhism in Indian thought to important aspects of Buddhist doctrine, such as the Four Noble Truths, and also to how Buddhism is practiced today in various parts of Asia. In covering such a vast territory of history, doctrine, and practice, the book serves as a meaningful encounter with Buddhism. Writing with primarily a Western audience in mind, Ananda Guruge draws from his extensive knowledge of Buddhism as both a long-time scholar and practitioner. This rich exposition of Buddhism's historical development and regional expansion is further enhanced by the addition of an anthology of Buddhist writings, and by a useful dictionary of Buddhist terms. All these resources make What in Brief is Buddhism a comprehensive guide to all the major aspects of the Buddhist tradition.
