Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An invaluable nonsectarian map to the complex terrain of Buddhist philosophy, history, and practice."--Yoga Journal

"The perfect volume for a Western Buddhist to hand to a friend who asks, 'What is Buddhism, anyway?' Snelling is a fine writer: his prose is clear and readable, infused with intelligence and humor. This gives The Buddhist Handbook a significant advantage over many books about Buddhism, which can tend to be abstract and dryly scholarly."--American Bookseller

"A useful and valuable guide. In a concise and readable style, it provides a foundation for discriminating among the range of authentic but different teachings being presented in the West today."--Shambhala Sun

Reseña del editor:

An introduction to the basic teachings of Buddhism describes the main schools of Buddhism, the Buddhist world-view, leading Buddhist teachers, festivals and meditation.
