This is an introduction to the Buddhist faith and its practice
worldwide, in over 300 artworks and photographs. This is a
fascinating and informative guide to the Buddhist faith, from the
life of the Buddha through to modern-day Buddhism. It looks at the
different schools of Buddhism around the world and how they have
evolved. Special themed features focus on Buddhist art, symbolism
and architecture, as well as Buddhist Holy days, festivals and
rituals. It examines key themes such as the role of women in
Buddhism, the importance of the pagoda, and the suppression of the
Buddhist faith. It is beautifully illustrated with more than 300
inspirational photographs of paintings, statues, important
historical sites and archaeological finds. This richly illustrated
reference introduces and explains Buddhist philosophy and how it is
practised worldwide. The book opens by exploring the roots of
Buddhism through the Buddha's life and teachings, and then explores
the practice of Buddhism today, and how the Buddhist faith is
followed and interpretated around the world. There is fascinating
information on the different Buddhist schools, such as Theravada,
Zen, Pure Land and Nichiren, and of the key masters central to
them. Beautifully illustrated in 300 inspiring images, this book is
the perfect introduction for those new to Buddhism, and a vital
resource for students and scholars alike.
