5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Cozy Hardbound Buddhism Reference,
This review is from: Historical Dictionary of Buddhism (Historical Dictionaries of Religions, Philosophies, and Movements, No. 1) (Hardcover)
From Abhayagiri to Zendo, a great way to find dictionary-style definitions and explanations of Buddhist terms quickly and easily. Charles S. Prebish is a good compiler and author. Very complete bibliography. Suitable quick reference tool for academics. The hardcover edition is a sturdy way to enjoy this handy reference.
There are other far more inclusive dictionaries out there, but for a handy nice hardcover volume to keep by the reading chair this is worth the money for Buddhism students and practitioners, especially for a beginning reader of the sutras and issues of Buddhism. You will find that more than one dictionary is typically needed anyway. For a more inclusive buddhist dictionary, you might also consider Christmas Humpries Popular Dictionary of Buddhism or the Oxford Dictionary of Buddhism (roughly titled). |
