Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction (9780192853295)

This "Very Short Introduction" introduces the reader both to the teachings of the Buddha and to the integration of Buddhism into daily life. What are the distinctive features of Buddhism? What is the Buddha, and what are his teachings? How has Buddhist thought developed over the centuries, and how can contemporary dilemmas be faced from a Buddhist perspective? Words such as "karma" and "nirvana" have entered our vocabulary, but what do they mean? This book aims to provide a challenging response to these frequently asked questions about Buddhism.
