B.R. Publishing Corporation Buddhism A Living Spiritual force by Lama G K
The contribution of Buddhist thought and culture had been very important and distinct in shaping the religious life of Asian people for at least eight long centuries from the first century BCE. Due to the intellectual and cultural intercourse, during the course of about eight centuries, Buddhist scholars and missionaries and the pious devotees of Buddhism succeeded in transplanting Buddhist faith in the Asian countries. A sublime culture was accepted as the currency of civilization of large tracts of Asian continent and their inhabitants. This book highlights the religio-philosophical and cultural background of Buddhist thought in which a strong lasting cultural relation was built-up between India and other Buddhist countries of Asia. The aim of this book is to promote mutual religious and cultural understanding between the people of the different countries of Asia by reminding them of the old cultural relations. A lot of printed material is available on this subject but this book is very interesting as well as fresh in its approach.
