camerata Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 First-ever English Buddhist Encyclopaedia The first-ever International English medium Encyclopaedia of Buddhism is now complete, says its Chief Editor Dr. W.G. Weeraratne. The Encyclopaedia of Buddhism project launched by the Government in 1955 to commemorate the 2500th Buddha Jayanthi, under the direction of the pioneer Editor-in-Chief Professor Emeritus G.P. Malalasekera, will be completed before the end of 2010. The Encyclopaedia of Buddhism covering a vast field of Buddhist doctrines and philosophy, culture and literature and diverse Buddhist activities relating to Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism in the Buddhist world, has been planned to be completed in eight volumes, each volume consisting of approximately 900 printed pages and an index volume.

Xangsamhua Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 There are several encyclopaedias of Buddhism on Amazon. I wonder what's different about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
