This book begins with Buddhism's involvement in the culture and thought of India, and observes its moves into other—very different—contexts: China, Southeast Asia, Tibet, Japan, and even the West, to a limited extent. The book accepts the diversity within Buddhism, giving roughly equal treatment to its two major traditions—the Theravada and the Mahayana.
