By Dominique Side This is a textbook written for the UK school system by Dominique Side, one of Sogyal Rinpoche's most senior students. It's an amazing overview of Buddhism, a wonderful resource for students of all levels. The aims of the textbook are to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the history and doctrines of Buddhism, and to relate Buddhist thought to Western approaches to ethics, science and theism. Debates within the tradition are explored fully to help students develop their critical understanding of the key issues. The book concludes with a glossary of key terms and a list of further reading. Dominique Side is an assistant examiner in AS/A-level religious studies in the UK for two major examination boards and a freelance lecturer in Buddhism, running adult courses throughout Europe and in North America. She was formerly lecturer in Religious Studies at Richmond upon Thames College. Paperback: 246 pages |
