Note:Unprecedented in scope and approach, The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Buddhism is the most comprehensive gathering of primary texts available. Organized by country to mirror the spread of Buddhism from India to China, Korea, Japan, Tibet, and the United States, the Anthology brings together over 100 substantial selections from the fifth century B.C.E. to the present day. In addition to illuminating general introductions ("How the West Learned to Compare Religions," by Jack Miles, and "In the World of the Buddha," by Donald S. Lopez, Jr.), the texts are supported by the meticulously prepared apparatus -- introductions, annotations, pronouncing glossaries, bibliographies, maps, black-and-white images, and color plates -- for which Norton Anthologies have set the standard for fifty years."--Publisher's note
