The fifteen essays on Buddhism included in this collection is a representative sample of contributions dealing with different aspects of Buddhist philosophy. Instead of merely being given to statement of facts, they refreshingly analyse various concepts, notions, doctrines, controversies etc., explain nuances and intricacies in their rationale and bring out some of their novel prominent implications. They are presented within the cover of a single book for the first time.
