He starts with a sketch of the Buddha and the Dharma, and highlights the origins of Buddhism in India. He then considers specific details of the Dharma with special attention to Buddhist metaphysics and epistemology, and examines the development of Buddhism in China, Japan, and Tibet, concluding with the ideas of the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh. In each chapter he includes explanations of key terms and teachings, excerpts from primary source materials, and presentations of the arguments for each position. His book will be an invaluable guide for all who are interested in this rich and vibrant philosophy. 410 0$aCambridge introductions to philosophy. 606 $aBuddhist philosophy$vTextbooks 615 0$aBuddhist philosophy 676 $a181.043 700 $aLaumakis$b Stephen J.$01480656 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782700103321 996 $aAn introduction to Buddhist philosophy$93697370 997 $aUNINA
