Overview
Introducing Buddha describes the life and teachings of the Buddha. It also shows that enlightenment is a matter of experiencing the truth. This is achieved by individual study and by way of inspiration passed from teacher to pupil. Meditation, Karma, Zen, Tantric, Nirvana are just some of the many Buddhist ideas that have been absorbed into our Western popular idiom often inappropriately and without terms of reference. But this vast and complex non-theistic religion is woven into the fabric of Asian civilizations from India to Vietnam and China to Korea and Japan.Synopsis
Introducing Buddah describes the life and teachings of the Buddah.
