This book does an excellent job in providing an overview of BuddhismBy Daniel R LewisThis book does an excellent job in providing an overview of Buddhism. Particularly interesting is how it explains that many of the beliefs and practices in Buddhism resemble those in the other major world religions. It is helpful in understanding way religion should not be encouraging divisions between people.The book appears to be very well researched. The numerous pictures in the book are beautiful and very well reproduced.May all beings know happiness free from suffering.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Book for researching Buddhist SpiritualityBy Kindle CustomerPurchased this book as a reference book for the study of Buddhism. This book has more than served this purpose..1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Essentials of Buddhist SpiritualityBy Samuel Bendeck SotillosOne should feel grateful for both the existence of Stoddart's --"pocket encyclopedia"-- and having the good merit of coming into contact with it. This book is a gem that guides one through the diverse worlds of the Buddhist tradition and is not only imperative for Buddhism; but serves as a testimony that there are other paths that lead to the One summit. While the literature available on Buddhism is copious; very few books equal this volume; as it is one of the rare and reliable sources that encompass the fullness of the Buddhist tradition and is tailored for Western audiences. We turn to the Buddha's words from the Dhammapada that allude to the medicine and cure for the present-day spiritual malady which this work serves to guide. May it serve all seeking sentient beings to cross to the other shore: "How can there be laughter; how can there be pleasure; when the whole world is burning? When ye are in deep darkness; will ye not ask for a lamp?"-Parabola: Myth; Tradition; and the Search for Meaning; Vol. 39; No. 1 (Spring 2014)
