Exploring Buddhism

Description

In half a century of exploration in the spiritual continent of Buddhism, Christmas Humphreys has made intensive expeditions into the theory and practice of selected corners of the field. Buddhism has through the centuries become so vast that it is difficult to write about all of it. Practitioners as well as scholars must specialise and concentrate on a chosen area. This book is an account of those explorations. It is not another textbook of Buddhism and large areas are scarcely touched upon. Some of the twenty subjects covered in this book have been well trodden, others less fully explored, but Christmas Humphreys brings to them all a personal freshness of approach which forms a valuable addition to Western Buddhist literature.
