About This Item
San Francisco, CA: HarperSanFrancisco/ A Division of HarperCollins, Publishers, Inc. , 2001. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo or 8° (Medium Octavo): 7¾" x 9¾" tall. 275 pp. Solidly bound copy with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. No dj. Publisher's remainder copy. Lopez, a professor of Buddhist studies at the University of Michigan, says that his primary aim for this book is "to focus on Buddhist practice as a religion." Unlike more superficial how-to books on Buddhism, this book gives a thorough historical and theological explanation of Buddhism's major tenets, starting with Buddhist cosmology and then moving to chapters dedicated to the Three Jewels of Buddhism (the Buddha, dharma and sangha) before ending with a chapter on enlightenment.
