Buddhism
In this wide-ranging new study, Bristol University's Pascale Engelmajer seeks to relocate Buddhism in its historical and global context. This important new thinking is grounded in the stories of four fictional people who are practising Buddhism around the world in very different ways to show how a variety of practices and beliefs that stem from common doctrines. By celebrating the diversity of Buddhism, Dr Engelmajer tells a story that is often lost beneath Western talk (and confusion) about Feng Shui, yoga, and the Dalai Lama.

- "Engelmajer gives us a glimpse of what being a Buddhist in today's world entails, and how this links back to the historical and doctrinal development of the many Buddhist traditions extant today. The narrative follows the religious lives of four fictional characters, representative of four Buddhist traditions in their daily lives, to show how a variety of practices and beliefs that stem from common doctrines have developed in different ways."@en
