Buddhism is one of the major world religions today, with
approximately 500 million followers worldwide and nearly 300,000 in
the UK. Following the Buddha's Enlightenment in north India in the
5th century, Buddhism was adopted across Asia and is now widely
practised in the West, where many people embrace a Buddhist
lifestyle or select practices such as meditation. Accompanying the
largest ever display of the British Library's Buddhist treasures,
Buddhism introduces the history, philosophy, geographical spread
and practices of Buddhism, exploring its relevance in the modern
world. Illustrated throughout with astonishingly beautiful scrolls,
manuscripts and printed books, Buddhism presents the idea of the
`Middle Path' - promoting mindfulness, compassion, tolerance and
non-violence - with a renewed relevance for a 21st-century reader.
