Buddhism

About this book

"The doctrines, wisdom, and virtues of Buddhism are full of a spiritual depth unappreciated by most. Thomas Berry, in this illuminating survey, explores that depth of spirit by analyzing the history and philosophy of Buddhism. His eloquent and informative style brings the Western reader a complete understanding of the Buddhist interpretation of man's earthly life and spiritual destiny. The text is aimed specifically at the general reader who knows very little about Buddhist traditions, and Mr. Berry succeeds in providing a well-rounded introduction to this faith." -- Back of cover.
