Buddhism: Teachings, Sources, and Practices

By Michael S. Russo

An exploration of the development of Buddhism in Asia, BUDDHISM: TEACHINGS, SOURCES, AND PRACTICES is an anthology that has been written for those with little or no background in Buddhist history or philosophy. Beginning with the teachings of the historic Buddha himself (Siddhatha Gotoma), the text explores the evolution of Buddhist thought during the centuries following the Buddha's death as it manifested itself in the traditions of Theravada Buddhism, Indian Mahayana Buddhism, Ch'an/Zen Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism. As the title indicates, essential primary sources are examined and explanations of key Buddhist meditation practices provided in order to give a fully developed portrait of Buddhism both in theory as well as in practice.
