This edition offers a clear and concise introduction to Buddhism, with attention to fifteen fundamental terms that illuminate the practice and meaning of Buddhism – from art to word. The essays explore not only traditional Buddhist societies, but also the modern context, creating a broad and nuanced picture.
Content Focus
The selected terms are deliberately chosen outside the religious core concepts, stimulating interdisciplinary thinking. Topics such as practice, power, pedagogy, rituals, history, sexuality, and death are discussed in depth. The authors offer new insights and challenging perspectives that critically question existing assumptions about Buddhism.
