Description

Buddhism has a long history of 2,500 years in which it passed through different countries, languages and cultures. While this was happening it was adapting and picking up pieces of the philosophy and traditions of those cultures it passed through. Anyone, especially westerners, who have attempted to understand this topic are instantly met with a tsunami of confusing information. You will find books available about Buddhism from India, China, Tibet, or Japan. There are books on Hinayana, Mahayana, or Vajrayana Buddhism. Lastly there are books about Theravada, Zen, Pureland, Hua-yen, Yogacara, and Tantric Buddhism. Talk about overwhelming! What exactly does all this mean? Where do you begin? When you go from book to book it often seems like the authors are describing something completely different but they all call it Buddhism!

If any of this sounds familiar then this book is for you! In this book I will cut through all the different names, terms, and teachings of the different Buddhist schools to get to the "Core" of what Buddhism really is. At first, all of this information can seem very contradictory. But I will provide you with the threads that run through all of them. Then you will see that they are really not so contradictory after all. Once you are given just a little knowledge, all the confusion you feel now will fade away.
