Back Cover:
Buddhism is one of the fastest growing religions in the world today. This is the first basic introduction to help the newcomer — or the interested outsider — orientate him or herself to the different schools, concepts, interpretations and organizations which make up the world of Buddhism. The Buddhist Handbook could not have been written by anyone more knowledgeable: John Snelling was for some years the Editor of The Middle Way, the journal of the Buddhist Society, and is uniquely placed to offer an overview of Buddhism.
The book’s magic is wide: from the opening chapters What is Buddhism? and The Spread of Buddhism, it ranges across the basic teachings, the main schools, the Buddhist world view, leading teachers, Tibetan Buddhism, festivals, and Meditation.
Lucidly written, concise, and easy-to-use, The Buddhist Handbook will be an essential addition to the library of every practising Buddhist.
Care of Dharma (Buddhist) Books:
Dharma books contain sacred teachings and should be treated with respect. When not in use, keep them in a clean place, preferably on a high shelf. Avoid placing them directly on the floor or in places where they might be mistreated. If a Dharma book becomes damaged or worn, consider offering it to a Buddhist centre for proper handling or respectful disposal. By caring for these books, we honour the wisdom they contain and the path they illuminate.
This pre-loved copy carries wisdom and blessings, ready to find a new home with a reader who seeks inspiration and spiritual enrichment.
