In the early 21st century, Buddhism has become ubiquitous in America and other western nations, moving beyond the original bodhi tree in India to become a major global religion. During its journey westward, it has changed, adapted to new cultures, and offered spiritual help to many people looking for answers to the problems of life. It is being studied in institutions of higher education, being practice by many people, and having its literature translated and published. The A to Z of Buddhism covers and clarifies Buddhist concepts, significant figures, movements, schools, places, activities, and periods. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries.

Dharma, Sangha, Arhat, karma, Bodhisattva - these and many other Buddhist technical terms have become vaguely familiar to Western readers. But what do they really mean in Buddhism? Just what are the Four Noble Truths, the Five Skandhas, the Six Paramitas, and the Eight Winds? Buddhism A-Z has the answers. In this volume, full definitions of hundreds of the terms, names, lists, and concepts most frequently encountered in reading Buddhist scriptures are listed in dictionary format and explained in plain English. The author and compiler, Ronald B. Epstein, has been teaching Buddhist Studies for more than thirty years. Many of his entries quote scriptural commentaries by the eminent Chinese Buddhist teacher, the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua. With the definitions, references are given to translations of Buddhist scriptures published by the Buddhist Text Translation Society.

This is #1 of 8 books designed to teach a thorough understanding of Buddhism and how to use it in one's life. This BOOK 1 was written in 2018 and 2019 while Buddha Z was a homeless Shaolin monk in North Hollywood but very active performing his poetry live and ending each reading with a song performed solo on his flute. This first book is comprised of the poetry that transformed Richard Del Connor from being the "Richard Del Connor the Philosopher Poet" into "Buddha Z the Buddhist Rapper." These poems represent the all four of the "4 Noble Truths" and will hopefully provide entertainment with enlightenment. Written during the Trump Presidency, these poems include commentaries on the American swamp in Washington, D.C. Bruce Lee fans will also be surprised to know the truth. During these years Richard Del Connor discovered the "5 Soul Theory" which became three books explaining a new perspective of spirituality and psychology. Some of these poems will mention how people are born with soul identities that determine their lifelong abilities and inabilities. Although anyone can learn to play piano, only some people are born with a MUSICIAN soul. Some people are born to be WORKERS and others to be MANAGERS. See Richard's 3-book series starting with 5 SOULS OF GOD - Everyone is ONE of FIVE for more information about this revolutionary psychology. This book is a poetic introduction to the Original Buddhism of the Original Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama over 2,000 years ago. The next 4 books of this series will analyze each of these "4 Noble Truths." The last three will provide useful ways to integrate the "4 Noble Truths" into your personal life, business, politics and marriage. Richard Del Connor is a "Buddhist Scientist" who has been studying the effects of Buddhism on his Shaolin Kung Fu and Yang Tai Chi Chuan students since 1984. Everyone should know and use the "4 Noble Truths" to be happier, healthier, more successful and smarter. Buddhism is NOT a religion. Buddhism is psychology.

This book seeks to explain carefully and sympathetically the Buddhist doctrine of anatta ('not-self'), which denies the existence of any self, soul or enduring essence in man. The author relates this doctrine to its cultural and historical context, particularly to its Brahmanical background, and shows how the Theravada Buddhist tradition has constructed a philosophical and psychological account of personal identity and continuity on the apparently impossible basis of the denial of self.
