This work seeks to give an integrated understanding of the rich and
multi-faceted Buddhist tradition through the exploration of a
number of key themes: sacred writings, human nature, portrayals of
the ultimate and the divine, devotional practices, rites of
passage, ethics, gender, attitudes to nature, cosmology, myth and
symbolism and sacred space. These themes have been selected to be
of interest to the general reader as well as to students of
religious studies, Buddhist studies and anthropology, and are dealt
with from a broadly phenomenological perspective by a team of
scholars, Buddhist and non-Buddhist. They provide a picture of
Buddhist visions of reality, myths and symbols, and emphasize the
way in which these are lived out in practice. The book illustrates
the constant interplay of belief and practice within Buddhism and
provides a view of both the diversity and continuity found within
the different Buddhist communities. The introduction gives an
historical overview of the traditions of Buddhism and relates the
themes dealt with to Ninian Smart's system of seven dimensions of
religion.
