Synopsis de l’éditeur
"For secondary school and undergraduate students researching the topic, Kinnard presents a historical overview of Buddhism, biographical sketches of significant figures, primary documents, and a timeline. The overview begins with the life of Buddha, the establishment of Buddhism and its philosophical and social context, its expansion, the emergence of the Mahayana, and the decline of Buddhism in India and rise elsewhere. Primary documents include an account of the Buddha's life in the palace from the Digha Hikaya, an excerpt from the Buddhacarita, Buddha's first sermon, and other Pali texts. The bibliography is annotated." - Reference & Research Book News
