Introduces Buddhist doctrines, practices and institutions.

Selectively surveys the foundational teachings, history and diversity of Buddhism, from the lifetime of the Buddha in fifth century BCE India to contemporary Buddhist communities in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and North America. Along the way, considers some important questions raised and addressed in the critical study of religion.
