Beginning at the modern day temples of Lumbini where the Buddha was born Strong takes us through the life of the Buddha and a study of Buddhist Doctrine revealing how Buddhism has changed just as it has stayed the same. Finally Strong examines the nature of Buddhist community life and its development today in the very different environments of Thailand Japan and Tibet.
