Buddhisms: An Introduction by John S. Strong provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse Buddhist traditions found around the world. Beginning with the modern-day temples of Lumbini, where the Buddha was born, this book takes readers through the life and teachings of the Buddha, as well as an exploration of Buddhist doctrine. The author's in-depth study of Buddhism is enriched by his own forty years of experience and insights, offering a clear and engaging explanation of the subject. The book examines the nature of Buddhist community life and its development in different environments, including Thailand, Japan, and Tibet. With tables and suggestions for further reading, Buddhisms offers a rigorous and well-organized investigation into the history and diversity of Buddhism. This introduction to Buddhism is ideal for those seeking to understand the complexities of this 2,500-year-old religion.
