Carter unfolds the cumulative traditions of Theravāda Buddhism by showing how one "looks at the world through Buddhist eyes." Presenting evidence from the Buddhist heritage in Sri Lanka, he develops a disciplined, inclusive approach to understanding notions of ethical living and "faith," or how individuals live life religiously. The author examines Buddhism as a worldview, reviewing the process of its origins and the development of its important concepts such as the pursuit of dhamma by Buddhists; the "Four Noble Truths;" the notion of refuge and the process of transcending; the role of the Buddhist monk (bhikkhu); and the role of music in ritual chant and song.

The field of Buddhist studies is an international and interdisciplinary one. By its nature, the study of Buddhism must take into account phenomena that cross national and cultural boundaries, as well as the more artificial boundaries of modern academic fields. This volume presents 18 studies, the subjects of which range over India, China, Tibet and Japan, and deal with an ever broader range of subjects. It includes many essays on Buddhist philosophy, a number of which deal with the Madhyamaka tradition of Nagarjuna and his successors, while others examine the Yogacara tradition of Asanga, Vasubandhu, and their successors. These essays investigate areas of doctrinal interest such as the so-called Two-Truth theory, and the doctrine of the equivalence of nirvana and samsara, as well as such topics as the nature and practice of compassion, and Indian Buddhist cosmology. Still other studies examine topics such as the meditation practices of the Japanese Pure Land founder Honen, some of the earliest Chinese Buddhist art objects yet known and their importance for the transmission of Buddhism to China, later Indian logic, epistemology and the theory of meaning, what we know about the ear

Are you often overwhelmed by certain events, certain people, or just your emotions? Do you want to cope with life’s pressure and suffering in a constructive, systematic way? The answer to these questions might be Buddhism. Buddhism is a faith and spirituality that has seen a resurgence from time to time during our history. This is because its beliefs, traditions, and spiritual practices seem to resonate with people when they are feeling lost, or in need of guidance. Also, with Buddhism, people don’t feel bogged down by dogma and religious fanaticism, which really gives them the freedom to practice Buddhism in the way that best suits them. This book is not written as a conversion tool. It simply serves to inform you of the benefits of Buddhism. You will be introduced to the basic tenets of Buddhism, to give you insight into the inner workings and mechanisms of this faith. But, over and above this, you will be shown meditative practices that can be used to achieve inner peace and calm, and also better manage stress and anxiety.
