Essentials of Buddhism: Basic Terminology and Concepts of Buddhist Philosophy and Practice

by Kogen Mizuno, Gaynor Sekimori, J.W. de Jong

From back cover - The centuries following the Buddha's death saw a proliferation of schools that expanded his teaching about the cause of suffering and the way to emancipation, or enlightenment, into a weighty canon of doctrinal embellishment and exegesis. In Essentials of Buddhism Kogen Mizuno, one of Japan's most distinguished Buddhologists, provides a detailed guide to the evolution of the major forms of Buddhism and to their basic terminology and concepts.
