Moving beyond the original bodhi tree where the historical Buddha
attained enlightenment, Buddhism spread throughout Asia and in more
recent history has become ubiquitous in America and other Western
nations as it marches into the status of a major global religion.
During its history westward, it has changed, adapted to new
cultures, and offered spiritual help to those looking for answers
to the problems of life. Buddhism is studied in institutions of
higher education, practice by many people worldwide, and its
literature is translated in numerous languages. Historical
Dictionary of Buddhism, Second Edition contains a chronology, an
introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has more than 900 cross-referenced entries on important
personalities as well as complex theological concepts, significant
practices, and basic writings and texts. This book is an excellent
resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more
about Buddhism.
