Description
History’s first world religion played its role in
bringing the known lauds of those times
together, grew according to the genius and needs of their
own cultures, making human living more picturesque and
meaningful, and remains relevant in modern hard times,
expanding in social service and other activities, such as in
Taiwan, Dalai Lama’s peace initiatives, etc. The editor, an
authority on the subject, presents in the work a careful
selection of interesting as well as generally unknown aspects
of this unusually vigorous and spread far and wide human
culture for the lay reader as well as scholar and research
students all over the world. The religion of peace and
compassion, especially welcome in modern times of terror,
presents its vaster panorama in this carefully selected
interesting work, contributed by scholars of repute from all
over the world – about China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc.,
including its excursions into the much effective social
services, a significant contribution to meaningful publishing,
Buddhism in modern times is much respected subject and the
work fulfils the great need of giving it the required ambience
and authority.
