Résumé
"The Evolution of Buddhism: A Simple Guide to Big Ideas" offers a comprehensive and accessible journey through the rich history, philosophy, and contemporary relevance of one of the world's most enduring spiritual traditions. Tracing Buddhism's origins from the life of Siddhartha Gautama and his early followers, the book provides clear explanations of core teachings such as the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, and concepts like karma, rebirth, and nirvana.
Through careful exploration of early schisms, the rise of different schools, and the spread of Buddhism across Asia, readers gain insights into both the unity and incredible diversity within Buddhist thought and practice. Spanning from ancient India to the modern global stage, the book examines key traditions-Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana-in distinctive regional contexts such as Southeast Asia, Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan.
It delves into the development of monasteries, the roles of lay practitioners, women, and the interplay between Buddhism, politics, and cultural life. Readers are guided through philosophical innovations, influential teachers, artistic achievements, and the transformative impact of Buddhist ethics and compassion on societies throughout history. In its final chapters, "The Evolution of Buddhism" engages contemporary themes, including Buddhism's dialogue with science, its rise in the West, secular adaptations, and mindfulness movements in healthcare and education.
Thoughtfully addressing controversies, ethical dilemmas, environmentalism, and digital transformations, the book analyzes Buddhism's current challenges while contemplating its ongoing evolution in an interconnected world. Elegant in its structure and approachable in style, this guide is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand both the enduring wisdom and dynamic transformations of Buddhism across centuries.
