Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
"With more than 5,000 entries totaling over a million words, this is the most comprehensive
and authoritative dictionary of Buddhism ever produced in English. It is also the
first to cover terms from all of the canonical Buddhist languages and traditions:
Sanskrit, Pāli, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Unlike reference works that
focus on a single Buddhist language or school, The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism
bridges the major Buddhist traditions to provide encyclopedic coverage of the most
important terms, concepts, texts, authors, deities, schools, monasteries, and geographical
sites from across the history of Buddhism. The main entries offer both a brief definition
and a substantial short essay on the broader meaning and significance of the term
covered. Extensive cross-references allow readers to find related terms and concepts.
An appendix of Buddhist lists (for example, the four noble truths and the thirty-two
marks of the Buddha), a timeline, six maps, and two diagrams are also included"--Publisher's
