Introducing Buddhism
Outline: It's impossible to know a man well until you know what he believes. Americans who are concerned about the people of Asia must be acquainted with the religions of Asia. One of the most important of these faiths is Buddhism, which in some form or other holds the allegiance of millions of human beings from the Hawaiian Islands west to Japan, Thailand, Burma, India, and other countries in Asia. Gautama Buddha, tortured by his yearning for an understanding of life, found enlightenment 2,500 years ago. His wisdom has reached far beyond the boundaries of birthplace and the measures of time. From it have sprung religious beliefs and practices which, varied though they are from country to country, are part of the faith called Buddhism. Introducing Buddhism is a skillful survey of how one of the world's major religions came to be and what it means to its followers today.
