This collection of essays examines ten core themes from a comparative
perspective and thus provides an integrated introduction to the social
and spiritual values at the centre of Buddhist thought. Following an
introductory chapter, the themes covered are moral decision making,
worship, myth and history, the role of women, attitudes to nature,
sacred writings, beliefs about human nature, rites of passage, sacred
place and the depiction of the divine. Each chapter concludes with a
list of recommended further reading.
