On Understanding Buddhists: Essays on the Theravada Traditions in Sri Lanka

 
John Ross Carter (Author) Bibliotheca Indo-Buddhica Series
Synopsis Carter unfolds the cumulative traditions of Theravada Buddhism by showing how one "looks at the world through Buddhist eyes."  Presenting evidence from the Buddhist heritage in Sri Lanka, he develops a disciplined, inclusive approach to understanding notions of ethical living and "faith", or how individuals live life religiously.  The author examines Buddhism as a worldview, reviewing the process of its origins and the development of its important concepts such as the pursuit of dhamma by Buddhists; the role of the Buddhist monk (bhikkhu); and the role of music in ritual chant and song.
