Carter, John Ross - ON UNDERSTANDING BUDDHISTS. Essays on the Theravada Tradition in Sri Lanka.

Albany, State University of New York Press , 1993. 1st edition 251 pp. Pb. Suny Series in Buddhist Studies. Carter unfolds the cumulative traditions of Theravada Buddhism by showing how one looks at the world through Buddhist eyes. Presenting evidence from the Buddhist heritage in Sri Lanka, he develops a disciplined, inclusive approach to understanding notions of ethical living and faith, or how individuals live life religiously. The author examines Buddhism as a worldview, reviewing the process of its origins and the development of its important concepts such as the pursuit of dhamma by Buddhists; the Four Noble Truths; the notion of refuge and the process of transcending; the role of the Buddhist monk (bhikkhu); and the role of music in ritual chant and song. near fine condition
