Buddhism’s origins, beliefs, and practices

The account begins with the story of the Buddha and the early development of the faith, then broadens to cover Buddhist beliefs and values, common practices, and challenges. That combination gives the book a general introduction to Buddhism, linking its historical beginnings with the ways the religion is understood and practiced. The source describes a broad survey rather than a focus on a single tradition or practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults seeking an introductory overview of Buddhism
  • Readers interested in the religion’s origins, beliefs, values, and practices

Book overview

More than two millennia ago, a young Indian prince renounced his power and wealth, became an impoverished monk, and devoted his life to ending human suffering. His followers called him Buddha--"the enlightened one"--and over time the faith he started became the world's fourth largest religion. Topics covered include its origins, beliefs and values, common practices, and challenges.
