It was only during the nineteenth century that Buddhism became, in the western mind, a religious tradition separate from Hinduism. As a result, Buddha emerge from a realm of myth and was addressed as a historical figure. Almond's exploration of British interpretations of Buddhism--of its founder, its doctrines, its ethics, its social practices, its truth and value--illuminates more than the various aspects of Buddhist culture: it sheds light on the Victorian society making these judgements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943680835872,"sku":"NEW0521033853","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-british-discovery-of-buddhism-0521033853","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
