- Synopsis
- A comprehensive dictionary of Buddhism is even now growing in the unconstrained dimensions of the Internet, notes Keown (historical and cultural studies, U. of London). By comparison, his effort is modest: a handy one-volume source for students and general readers seeking concise explanations of the various concepts, names, texts, and terms found in the Buddhist literature. The articles are highly cross-referenced. Appendices include maps, a pronunciation guide, a guide to Buddhist scriptures, and a chronology.
