Synopsis

An extremely comprehensive history of Buddhism, Buddhist Spirituality covers the beginnings of Buddhism in India, tracing its spread towards Southeast Asia, Tibet and China. While there is some discussion of historical events and culture, this book is largely a history of ideas, and explains clearly the different Buddhist concepts and the way they were transmitted and transformed. Buddhist philosophy and meditation techniques are also very central to this book. Dense and detailed, Buddhist Spirituality is very useful for anyone with a deep interest in Buddhism, but may be too complex for those looking for an overview of Buddhist spirituality.
