Item Description
The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism contains more than 5,000 entries totaling over a million words, this is the most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of Buddhism ever produced in English. It is also the first to cover terms from all of the canonical Buddhist languages and traditions: Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Unlike reference works that focus on a single Buddhist language or school, The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism bridges the major Buddhist traditions to provide encyclopedic coverage of the most important terms, concepts, texts, authors, deities, schools, monasteries, and geographical sites from across the history of Buddhism.
Donald S. Lopez Jr. is the Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. He is the author, editor, or translator of a number of books, including The Madman’s Middle Way, Critical Terms for the Study of Buddhism, Introduction to the History of Indian Buddhism, In the Forest of Faded Wisdom: 104 Poems by Gendun Chopel, and Buddhism and Science.
Robert Buswell is a Distinguished Professor of Buddhist Studies at UCLA and the founding Director of the UCLA Center for Buddhist Studies. Additionally, Robert Buswell holds the Irving and Jean Stone Endowed Chair in Humanities. In June of 2009 he began also serving as founding director of Dongguk Institute for Buddhist Studies Research (Pulgyo HaksurwÅÂÂ?n) at Dongguk University in Seoul, Korea. Buswell is also a recipient of the Puri Prize for Buddhist Studies in Korea.
