Trade Review
Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "Buddhism in Practice ... constitute[s] a benchmark of where Buddhist studies has been, and where it is going. By endeavoring to break the circularity of the knowledge process, by which we recognize as 'Buddhist' only what we already think of as Buddhist, Lopez has opened a new course for a self-reflexive Buddhology."--Timothy Brook, Journal of Asian Studies Praise for Princeton's previous edition: "Like an all-star professional athletic team, the contributors to this volume bring credentials as world famous scholars of Buddhism... [This] anthology contains a variety that shatters the narrowness of previous collections of texts."--William Huntley, Education About ASIA
