Portrays the foundational principles of Buddhist belief through the lives of believers, illustrating how the religion is put into practice in everyday life. Takes as its foundation the inherent diversity within Buddhist society, rather than focusing on the spiritual and philosophical elite within Buddhism. Its compelling biographical genre reveals how individuals have negotiated the choices, tensions, and rewards of living in a Buddhist society. Case studies have been carefully chosen to cover a range of Asian and modern Western Buddhists. The text convey a full sample of possible Buddhist orientations in contemporary and historical contexts"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"Understanding Buddhism redresses this imbalance by exploring a fascinating series of life histories of individuals whose lives are far more representative of the ways in which Buddhists throughout time have embodied the tradition"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLived Religions 606 $aBuddhists$vBiography 606 $aBuddhism 615 0$aBuddhists 615 0$aBuddhism. 676 $a294.3092/2 686 $a180.1$2njb/09 686 $a294.3092/2$2njb/09 702 $aLewis$b Todd$f1952- 702 $aNawang$b Ts'ampa 702 $aSihle$b Nicolas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791049203321 996 $aBuddhists$93847175 997 $aUNINA
