Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7. An attractive and useful title. As she did in Hinduism (Peter Bedrick, 1996), Ganeri utilizes a double-page topic treatment to answer some basic questions about the religion's principles and practices. In response to such inquiries as "What did the Buddha teach?" and "How do Buddhists Worship?" she presents a survey of Buddhist history, beliefs, sacred texts, festivals, and life-cycle events. As in other titles in the series, there is discussion of the art and folk literature associated with the religious tradition. Colorful photographs, illustrations, and art reproductions appear throughout. A brief section "Buddhism in Exile" mentions the Dalai Lama and Tibet, but this series does not stress contemporary political conflicts.?Libby K. White, Schenectady County Public Library, NY
