They have been the basis for one of Asia's major religions for over 1,000 years, yet it is only in the last century that Buddhism has achieved recognition it the West. This book explains the beliefs common to Buddhists everywhere, and explores the variety of ways in which these are practised. It also describes the place of festivals, pilgrimage and meditation in the life of the believer.
