Description
Although there are many books on Buddhist theory and practice, few (if any) are aimed at readers who have no previous experience of Buddhist teachings, or who have been baffled by the technicalities of Buddhist terminology.
The present book, by a member of the Western Buddhist Order, presents a complete overview of the Buddhist vision of existence; the significances of the Buddhist concepts of the Wheel of Life, the Spiral, and the Mandala of the Five Buddhas, are explained in terms which Western readers can relate to, without obscure technicalities and jargon.
THE BUDDHIST VISION is a book that fills a real need for an approachable primer to one of the great spiritual traditions of the world.
