Covering all aspects of this fascinating religion from the life of the Buddha and his teaching to the different Buddhist schools and the practicalities of pursuing a Buddhist way of life, Teach Yourself Buddhism is a comprehensive and informative guide. It explores the diversity of Buddhism and how it has adapted to its growing global presence and new cultural environments as well as the relevance of Buddhist teachings in our world today. This new edition has been fully updated to include in-depth discussion of the place and role of Buddhism today, both in the East and West, and also considers what is undoubtedly the greatest challenge facing the faith - how Buddhism is to be transmitted to a new generation.
