A concise explanation of All The Matters in Buddhism.

Get a glimpse of what it means to be a Buddhist in today's world.

Buddhism: All that Matters follows the daily lives of four fictional characters who represent four Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Chinese Pure Land, Japanese Zen and Tibetan), describing what being a Buddhist today entails. Discover the religious and devotional practices, dietary requirements, ethical principles, and religious and philosophical beliefs.

Grounded in the latest scholarship, this book offers a live picture of Buddhism as it is: a variety of practices and beliefs that stem from common doctrines that have developed in many ways across time and space.

Pascale F. Engelmajer has a PhD in Buddhist Studies from the University of Bristol, and now teaches at Carroll University in Wisconsin. She has been studying Buddhism for 20 years, and has lived and travelled widely in South East Asia. Her main interest lies in the role and status of women in Buddhist texts and practice. Dr Engelmajer has contributed to various books and articles on Buddhism in both English and French
