Puffs to follow Originating in India, Mahayana Buddhism spread
across Asia, becoming the prevalent form of Buddhism in Tibet and
East Asia. Over the last twenty-five years Western interest in
Mahayana has increased considerably, reflected both in the quantity
of scholarly material produced and in the attraction of Westerners
towards Tibetan Buddhism and Zen. Paul Williams' Mahayana Buddhism
is widely regarded as the standard introduction to the field, used
internationally for teaching and research and has been translated
into several European and Asian languages. This new edition has
been fully revised throughout in the light of the wealth of new
studies and focuses on the religion's diversity and richness. It
includes much more material on China and Japan, with appropriate
reference to Nepal, and for students who wish to carry their study
further there is a much-expanded bibliography and extensive
footnotes and cross-referencing. Everyone studying this important
tradition will find Williams' book the ideal companion to their
studies. Paul Williams is Professor of Indian and Tibetan
Philosophy and Co-director of the Centre for Buddhist Studies at
the University of Bristol. The author of six books and an editor of
a further eight, he is a former President of the UK Association for
Buddhist Studies. Among his other books for Routledge is Buddhist
Thought: A Complete Introduction to the Indian Tradition (2000).
