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.
