The Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion: Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, Hinduism

Dharma, karma, yoga, Tao -- what does it all mean? Buddha, Krishna, Lao-tzu, Rinzai -- who in the heck were they? Translated from the German of four specialists in the fields of Buddhism and Taoism, Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism and Zen, The Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion is more than just a dictionary of terms. It includes the lives of significant teachers, mystics and philosophers; entries for the basic texts and scriptures; capsules of the various sects and schools of thought; as well as mythological figures and events. Packed with information, inexpensive and printed on acid-free paper -- a bargain investment.
