Destined to become a classic in its field, The Vision of Buddhism constitutes a dramatic departure from most Western treatments of Buddhism. Holding that the usual historical approach is not only irrelevant to Buddhism, but also destructive of its distinctive world view. Corless takes a nonlinear approach, one more faithful to the Buddhist tradition itself. Most Western treatments of Buddhism are historical, tracing in detail the chronology of Buddhisms emergence and growth and its division into dozens of competing schools. This lucid and elegant introduction to Buddhism takes a nonhistorical approach, one that is more faithful to the Buddhist tradition itself. Author Roger Corless presents and explains Buddhist teachings and practices in light of events in the life of Buddha. He examines the mythologized version of Buddhas life and the differing descriptions of Buddhas life given by his followers. In the major section of the book he considers the matter of greatest importance to modern readershow the Buddhas life, in all its descriptions, may be repeated by each individual practitioner.
