Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-278) and index.In this new and comprehensive textbook, Alexander Wynne shows that the story of Buddhism as a global system of belif begins with the life of the Buddha in northern India in the fifth century BCE. He discusses the many new advances that have been made in recent years with regard to Buddhist origins, and traces the ways that formative Indian doctrines helped shape the features of later Asian Buddhism. Carefully outlining the major Buddhist traditions, Wynne examines in turn the major Mahayana traditions of China, including the Ch'an and Pure Land schools, as well as recent trends in Theravada Buddhism, especially in Sri Lanka and Thailand, and the Tantric Buddhism of Tibet. Finally, he turns to the role of Buddhism in the modern world, and explores how the western encounter with Buddhism has both affected and been affected by it, especially in the fields of cognitive science and modern psychology.

The psychology of world religions and spiritualities : an indigenous perspective / by Sisemore, Timothy A.,editor.(CARDINAL)681275; Knabb, Joshua J.,editor.(CARDINAL)837138;
"he relationship between psychology and religion has been historically rocky. The trouble is that psychologists often take a "top-down" approach to studying religious beliefs and practices. Consider, for instance, a psychologist who observes a community's religious ceremony and then describes it as a "sociological phenomenon." This strikes members of the community as an attempt to explain away their beliefs. When the sacred experiences of religious followers are treated as nothing more than case studies for journals and textbooks, the full import of their meaning in the hearts and minds of real people is lost. This book corrects that by taking a "bottom-up" approach to understanding religious behavior around the world. Each of the major religions is the focus of a separate chapter, and each chapter is written by a psychologist who is either a practicing member of that religion or who has cultural roots among the people who practice that religion. This gives the reader the intimate perspective of someone who has lived the religion, not merely studied it. Viewing religion in this manner is respectful and conveys all the color, flavor, and idiosyncratic ways that religion animates, inspires, and instructs its adherents. Psychologists in academic and clinical settings desperately need this kind of book today. Across society, we're hearing the call for greater diversity, understanding, and inclusion. With this resource in hand, psychologists will be able to grasp at an intimate level the meaningful role that religion and spirituality plays in the lives of the people they're trying to help"--
