Providing a directory of Buddhist centres throughout the world, this book contains details of locations, facilities, Buddhist personalities, types of Buddhism, courses and foundations. The main focus is on European centres, but there is also coverage of the main schools, institutes and centres in India, the Far East and America. European entries include the full address, facilities, teachers and masters, and languages spoken. There are also short quotations, sutras and short poems from Buddha and Buddhist masters of the past. Each different version of the religion is outlined, and the book has a glossary of Buddhist terms applicable to each of the different forms. Peter Lorie is the author of "Nostradamus - the End of the Millenium".
