A Glossary of Himalayan Buddhism is the first authentic step towards an advanced study of Buddhism. The book is result of a decad's painstaking effort to explore the enigma of spirituality that has haunted Buddhist scholars at home and abroad. Considering the book as a preliminary must for Nepal Buddhism, Dr. Regmi claims to have concentrated only on those references that are legendary in form. While analysing the different aspects of Nepal Buddhism, Dr. Regmi finds it unique and different from the rest of the world. He discussed the inter-relationship of Buddhism vs. Hinduism in Nepal where Lord Pashupati, Narayana, Lord Muktinath and Lord Buddha are considered one and the same. The author lays special emphasis on the subjects like origin of Bagmati, Buddhism vs. Vaishnavisam, Bajrapani, Bodhisattwa, cult of Kumari, origin of Kapilvastu, Adi Buddha, Goddess Basundhara, Buddhist stupas, Bighnantaka, Ganesha, legend, Birupaksha, Gorakhnath, Halahala Lokeshwara, Manjushree, and Ne Muni.
