His translation is faithful to the original, arguments convincing and consistent, and presentation clear and readable. The texts translated and interpreted are Madhyanta-vibhaga-karika-bhasya, Trimsatika-nirdesa, Trimsatika and Vimsatika. |

| Title: Absence of the Buddha Image in Early Buddhist Art : Towards its significance in Comparative Religion |
| Author: Kanoko Tanaka |
| Edition Year: 1998 |

| Language: English |
| Abstract: It is next to impossible today to even think of Buddhism without the presence of the Buddha image! The image of the Buddha, in truth, has not only come to symbolise the essence of Buddhism but is also a brilliant expression of the cultural/artistic achievements of the Buddhists since ancient times. Surprisingly, the Buddha image developed at a large stage of the evolutionary process after the parinirvana of the Buddha, the Buddhist for a considerable time beheld the Buddha and experienced him in their own minds without taking recourse to the Buddha image itself. |

| Author: |
| Edition Year: 2005 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Buddhism |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Jeffery Paine |
| Abstract: Once upon a time and that time not so long ago it was possible for an American or European child to grow up completely unaware of Buddhism. The Englishwoman Tenzin Palmo is now a legend for having lived a dozen years alone in a Himalayan cave and then starting a nunnery where she teaches Asian women the dharma. Yet she grew up, as did almost everyone else of her heritage, never encountering Buddhism or even hearing the world. What a difference a generation makes. Today even complex, complicated Tibetan Buddhism, once thought beyond popular understanding, has become a commonplace subject in the west. |

| Title: All is Change: The Two Thousand years journey of Buddhism to the West |
| Author: Lawarence Sutin |
| Edition Year: 2006 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Buddhism |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Long regarded as a nay saying Eastern cult that rejected the notion of a transcendent God come at last to have so pervasive an influence in the West? In an age when the Dalai Lama has become a prominent figure on the bestseller lists, the impact on the West of key Buddhistic ideas such as karma and rebirth, the healing power of compassion, and the fundamental interconnectedness of all life cannot be overstated. The modern day creation of a distinctly Western Buddhist is arguably the most significant spiritual development of our times but as Lawarence Sutin masterfully demonstrates in All Is Change, the Wests embrace of Buddhism happened not overnight, but over more than two millennia. |

| Abstract: On the morning of 14 October 1956, at a mass rally in the Indian town of Nagpur, four hundred thousand men and women turned their backs on a millennium of degradation and slavery.

In this book he explores the historical, religious, and social background to that movement, and assesses the considerable contribution made by Ambedkar to the spiritual tradition in which he placed his trust. |

| Title: Assimilation of Buddhism in Korea: Religious Maturity and Innovation in the Silla Dynasty |
| Author: |
| Edition Year: 1991 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Buddhism |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Lewis R. Lancaster and C.S. Yu |
| Abstract: During the Silla dynasty, the Buddhism which had been introduced to Korea from China, was being assimilated into the culture of the peninsula. Given generous support from the court and the officials of the nation, Buddhism attracted thousands of monks and nuns for the order. This Buddhist community began to interpret Buddhism within the Korean society and in the process became less dependent on missionaries from the Buddhist strongholds to the West. In the process of assimilation, the Koreans adapted much of their own ways of thinking to fit more closely the teachings of Buddhism and at the same time created a form of Buddhism which was unique. |

If we are not happy, if we are not peaceful, we cannot share peace and happiness with others, even those we love, and those who live under the same roof. If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace. |

| Abstract: Shin is the uniquely Japanese flowering of the type of Buddhism known as Pure Land. It originated in the thirteenth century with the charismatic and prophetic figure Shinran, whose interpretation of the traditional Pure Land teachings was extremely influential in his own lifetime and remains so today, In this book, based on several lectures he gave in the 1950s, D.T. Suzuki illuminates the deep meaning of Shin and its rich archetypal imagery, providing a scholarly and affectionate introduction to this sometimes misunderstood tradition of Buddhist practice. |

These schools were known as the Dhyana or meditation schools. So Zen originally meant meditation, but it came to mean also enlightenment, the means of enlightenment, concentration of mind, and even qualities for which its followers became noted. |

| Edition Year: 2005 |

| Subject: Buddhism |

| Abstract: How and why Buddhism declined in India, the land of its birth, is such a perplexing problem that no two opinions agree. The author in this study sets forth in a new perspective reasons for the disappearance of Buddhism from the land of its birth. He has marshalled considerable literary and historical evidence to show that Buddhism declined in India as a result of a concerted and calculated crusade against it by the reactionary Brahmins who worked overtime to regain their cast supremacy. |

| Title: Buddhism in Perspective |
| Author: Moti Lal Pandit |
| Edition Year: 2001 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Buddhism |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: The author in this book has made an attempt to explain, in simple terms, the intricate doctrinal framework of Buddhism. Whatever doctrinal framework of Buddhism may have developed in the course of its history, it has its roots in the basic assumptions of the Buddha, which he enunciated upon the attainment of supernal enlightenment. There is existential suffering not because of God, but because of wrong views. The wrong views according to the Buddha have their source in the concept of an eternal and substantial self. |

| Title: Buddhism: A Religion of Salvation |
| Author: Moti Lal Pandit |
| Edition Year: 2004 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Buddhism |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Buddhism as a religion of salvation is not so much concerned with the question of heaven and hell as much as with the existential question of suffering. It is, thus, the text of human suffering that has determined the soteriological goal of Buddhism, which is characterised as to how to obtain release from human suffering itself. Since suffering is a fact of life, so the aim has been to search for such ways and means by the application of which suffering may be overcome. It is this concern of Buddhism with suffering that is the focus of this book, that is, what basically suffering means to a Buddhist. |

| Abstract: Our libraries are full of books offering well reasoned, logical formulas for the ideal society. Two thousand years ago, Plato, in The Republic, wrote one of the first essays on politics and started a search for an ideal society which has continued to the present day. Plato built his ideal society on the assumption that early societies grew from a rational decision to secure well being, but if we look at the course of history, can we say that rational thinking has truly been the guiding force in the evolution of civilization?

| Title: Buddhist ethics |
| Author: Jamgo Kongtrul Lodro Taye |
| Edition Year: 1998 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Buddhism |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Jamgon Kongtruls monumental Encyclopedia of Buddhism contains a complete account of the major lines of thought and practice that comprise Tibetan Buddhism. Buddhist Ethics is the fifth part of that work and considered by many scholars to be its heart. Spiritual growth in a Buddhist context is a process of discovering a perfect quality that is already within us. Ethical discipline the essence of which is the commitment to life of non-violence and service to others is regarded as the indispensable foundation for this process. Buddhist ethics are not regarded as prohibitory rules, but rather the source of freedom. |

| Title: Buddhist Goddesses of India |
| Author: Miranda Shaw |
| Edition Year: 2007 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Buddhism |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: The Indian Buddhist world abounds with goddesses voluptuous tree spirits, maternal nurturers, potent healers and protectors, transcendent wisdom figure, cosmic mothers of liberation, and dancing female Buddhas. Despite their importance in Buddhist thought and practice, these female deities have received relatively little scholarly attention, and no comprehensive study of the female pantheon has been available. Buddhist Goddesses of India is the essential and definitive guide to divinities that, as Miranda Shaw writes, operate from transcendent planes of bliss and awareness for as long as their presence may benefit living beings. |
