Target audience: General readers, students, and professionals who want a clear, structured, non-specialist introduction to Buddhism—its origins, diversity across Asia, core teachings, practices (especially meditation), and contemporary global forms (including mindfulness and secular Buddhism). Short description (neutral, professional): This book provides a compact but wide-ranging introduction to Buddhism using a Q&A structure built from common student questions. It covers five major areas: Origins and Early History (the Buddha, early sangha, women, monastic rules, texts), Buddhist Diversity (Theravada/Mahayana/Tantric, Silk Road spread, China/Japan/Tibet, Buddhism and the West), Buddhist Teachings (God, Four Noble Truths, impermanence, dependent arising, no-self, karma and rebirth, bodhisattva ideal, emptiness, Zen), Buddhist Practices (meditation styles, posture, ritual, art/images, pilgrimage, priests/gurus), and Contemporary Global Buddhism (religion vs philosophy, science/psychology links, capitalism, Dalai Lama, ethics, ecology, women’s roles, mindfulness in secular settings). The introduction explicitly notes why Buddhism matters in contemporary culture—especially through mindfulness in schools, hospitals, workplaces, and beyond—while also emphasizing that mindfulness is only one part of the tradition.
