Buddhism is one of the world's major religions with influences reaching far beyond its origins in East Asia, yet it is surprising that it has taken so long for a comprehensive reference source on this religion to appear. Macmillan's work covers not only the familiar topics found in many existing titles on Buddhism but delves deeper. Some 250 experts have crafted scholarly yet accessible articles on nearly 500 topics ranging from rituals and practices to art and Western influence.

An attempt has been made in this work to present in a detailed and comprehensive manner the rise, the development of Buddhism in different parts of lndia and its decline. Although a good number of monographs have appeared on Buddhism, but there is no single work which presents a connected account of different aspects of Buddhism, its rise, its progress in various parts of India under the patronage of several dynastic rulers and then its decline in ancient India. I have tried to make a critical study of the subject with the help of all available sources.

《现代学佛者修证对话》

上篇：密宗修行经验

下篇：学佛修行与五蕴解脱

一九九六年春,美国的包卓立（William Bodri）先生，向南师怀瑾先生提出佛法修证过程中的诸多问题，而引起了一连数月的谈论对话。这两本集子，就是那次对话的记录。

包卓立深感美国人士学佛学密，良师难遇，困难重重，他对当时在美国流行的一本有关密宗修拙火记录的书（The Kundalini Experience），颇有疑问，故而特别请教南师讲解并评论这本美国修拙火定书中的问题。

南师此次一连串宗教系列的讲解和对话，分成上下两集印行，上集是专门评析美国与西藏的密宗修行经验。由于近年来，研究及修学密宗的人颇众，尤以美国为最，南师与包卓立的对话，可能纠正许多时下学密法的不正确观念。下集内容是五蕴解脱修证，我们为这本集子的出版欢喜赞叹，真正修证佛法的朋友们，抱着这本书，可以走上康庄大道了。

願生淨土之人，誰不希求決定往生！ 然而，如何是決定往生之道？一般人都習慣於向自身尋找，但這畢竟如 緣木求魚，蒸沙求飯；南轅而北轍，愈求而愈遠。 阿彌陀佛，早在永劫之前，身為法藏菩薩之時，即為我等十方罪苦眾生 發大誓願，建立淨土；同時須令十方造罪無善之輩易得往生，誓言： 若我成佛，十方眾生，稱我名號，下至十聲，若不生者，不取正覺。 即是以超世弘願為我等開闢決定往生之道；復經永劫之間苦修，願力成 就而成為南無阿彌陀佛，無窮之願力凝成六字之名號，從十萬億剎外之極樂 界，以無礙光明直爾延伸到我等面前。當知：此「南無阿彌陀佛」六字，即 是娑婆我等前往極樂之唯一通道；所謂決定往生之道，唯此 一真實，無二亦 無三。善導和尚稱之為「願力之白道」。

編 者 序

The idea of nirvaṇa (Pāli: nibbāna) is alluring but elusive for nonspecialists and specialists alike. Offering his own interpretation of key texts, Steven Collins explains the idea in a new, accessible way – as a concept, as an image (metaphor) and as an element in the process of narrating both linear and cyclical time. Exploring nirvana from literary and philosophical perspectives, he argues that it has a specific role: to provide ‘the sense of an ending’ in both the systematic and the narrative thought of the Pāli imaginaire.

Vasubandhu one of the most famous Mahayana Buddhist philosophers wrote works on a vast variety of subjects.

"Vijjavimutti: Liberation Through Wisdom" is published by The Buddhist and Pali College of Singapore, a collection of academic papers of scholars.

In this volume, Bhikshu Dharmamitra presents translations of three classic works on the bodhisattva vow (bodhicitta) authored by: The early Indian monastic eminence, Arya Nagarjuna (2nd c.); The Dhyana Master and Pureland Patriarch, Sheng'an Shixian (1686-1734); The Tang Dynasty literatus and prime minister, the Honorable Peixiu (797-870). Given that the bodhisattva vow constitutes the very essence of the path to buddhahood, this text can be said to be dedicated to the most important topic in all of Mahayana Buddhism. The translation and notes are by the American monk, Bhikshu Dharmamitra.

In this volume, Bhikshu Dharmamitra presents his translations of the three earliest editions of Arya Nagarjuna's "Letter from a Friend" (Suhrllekha), a work on the layman's practice of the Buddhist path. This text was written by Nagarjuna in the form of a letter of spiritual counsel to the early Indian monarch, King Satakarni. These three editions were produced in the middle part of the first millennium by Tripitaka Masters Gunavarman, Sanghavarman, and Yijing. English translations and notes by Bhikshu Dharmamitra.

This text is a translation of chapters 17-30 of Arya Nagarjuna's immense "Exegesis on the Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra" (Mahaprajnaparamita-upadesa). It is a free-standing section of that commentary exclusively devoted to analyzing and explaining the various levels of practice of the bodhisattva's six perfections.

This is The Bodhisambhara Shastra ("Treatise on the Provisions for Enlightenment"), written by Arya Nagarjuna, the early Indian monk (ca 2nd c.) who is one of the most famous figures in the history of Indian Mahayana Buddhism. This work describes the essential prerequisites for achieving the complete enlightenment of a buddha while also describing the most important practices to be undertaken by bodhisattvas.

"The Essentials of Buddhist Meditation" is a classic Buddhist meditation instruction manual deeply rooted in the Indian Buddhist "calming-and-insight" meditation tradition. Within its tradition, it is the universally-acknowledged standard beginning-to-intermediate meditation manual, one which offers perhaps the most reliable, comprehensive, and practically-useful Buddhist meditation instruction currently available in English.

The Meditator’s Handbook is a complete, stem-to-stern guide to the subject, with precise step-by-step instructions for traversing the stages of practice and overcoming obstacles. Drawing on his working-class roots, Brahm explains difficult concepts clearly and easily, so that beginners understand them, while those who already meditate gain new insight. Full of surprises, delightfully goofy humor, and entertaining stories that inspire, instruct, and illuminate, The Meditator’s Handbook encourages novices and gives a shot in the arm to more experienced practitioners.

Tantric deity yoga is the contemplative practice of visualizing oneself as a buddha, replete with compassion and wisdom, acting altruistically to benefit all sentient beings. This book offers a complete system of Tibetan Buddhist tantric meditation that details the process of transforming oneself through the step-by-step use of the imagination. Hopkins offers a contemporary Western perspective on the practice of deity yoga, based on his study and practice of these techniques.

《如來藏經》根據《華嚴經·性起品》所說的佛智遍滿,法身之普遍性,而以種種譬喻宣說眾生皆在如來之中。一切眾生有如來藏,不管眾生怎樣多次反復輪回, 為煩惱所染汙, 如來藏也不染汙,
也無失去,這是《如來藏經》之說。

如來藏是眾生本源清淨心地,諸佛法身之果德,具足諸法,包羅萬象。諸佛證此藏心,利益群生,應用無盡;眾生迷此藏心,常為無明煩惱障覆,業惑之所纏縛,而不能證得。諸佛之法,本來就是現成的,不論有佛出世,或者無佛出世,一切根據眾生本具的如來之藏,有著清淨本具的如來智慧,永遠常住於眾生身中,是不會有任何變化的;然而世間的一切眾生,由於清淨的佛性被煩惱覆蓋,因此要有佛
出世,處處說法,使得眾生依照佛陀的教導,精勤修學如來正法,令生起一切善念,斷除一切惡業,滅除身心的煩惱塵垢,開啟本具的如來智慧德相,從而顯現出眾生皆有的如來藏清淨法身之體。

The logic that arrives at the freedom from concepts is one of method that Buddhism offers to reduce suffering. When Buddhism went to China, such intense logic was too much for the culture, too one-sided, and so the Chinese used their existent world view, in conjunction with Buddhist doctrine, to find another way to break free from conceptual framework.

The book here translated—as it stands, it was perhaps composed more than two thousand years ago—sets forth a method intended for the guidance of those who already know intellectually the Buddha's teaching and want to explain his utterances. It is not a commentary but a guide for commentators: it deals with scaffolding, not with architecture. Its name, Nettippakarana, means 'guide-treatise', but the translation has been called, more simply, the
Guide.

There are two recognized aspects of language, which are complementary, that is to say the Normative and the Contextual.

Reference book for Chinese MA students

This book identifies what is meant by sati (smṛti), usually translated as “mindfulness,” in early Buddhism, and examines its soteriological functions and its central role in the early Buddhist practice and philosophy. Using textual analysis and criticism, it takes new approaches to the subject through a comparative study of Buddhist texts in Pali, Chinese and Sanskrit. It also furnishes new perspectives on the ancient teaching by applying the findings in modern psychology.

Peaceful Action, Open Heart shines 60 years of study and practice upon one of the crowning scriptures of the path of the Buddha, and is destined to be known as one of the most significant writings by Thich Nhat Hanh. The Lotus Sutra is one of the most revered of Mahayana sacred texts and is sometimes called "the king of sutras." Despite this fact, there are very few commentaries in English available today. Thich Nhat Hanh explores the Sutra’s main theme-- that everyone has the capacity to become a Buddha, and that Buddha-nature is inherent in everything--but he also uniquely emphasizes the sutra’s insight that Buddha-nature is the basis for peaceful action. Since we all will one day become a Buddha, he says, we can use mindfulness practices right now to understand and find solutions to current world challenges. In his interpretation of the sutra, he suggests that if the practices, views, and insights of the Lotus Sutra would find application not only by individuals but also by nations, it would offer concrete solutions to transform individual suffering and the global challenges facing the world today.

Awakening of the Heart is a comprehensive, single volume collection of the Buddha’s key sutras, translated with contemporary commentary by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. It is an essential complement to Happiness, the bestselling collection of meditation and mindful practices released in 2009. Awakening of the Heart captures the heart of Buddhist wisdom and Thich Nhat Hanh’s unique talent to make the Buddha’s teachings accessible and applicable to our daily lives and times. This is a wonderful gift for anyone looking to deepen their practice and understanding of the teachings, as well as a unique resource to understand the fundamentals of Buddhism from its source.

Buddha Mind, Buddha Body expands upon the themes in Thich Nhat Hanh’s book Understanding Our Mind. It opens with the question: Is free will possible? This concept becomes a leitmotif as the author considers how the mind functions and how we can work with it to cultivate more freedom and understanding, how to be in closer touch with reality, and how to create the conditions for our own happiness. Nhat Hanh discusses the connection between psychology, neuroscience, and meditation.
