   - The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism. - Princeton Unive...

With more than 5,000 entries totaling over a million words, this is the most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of Buddhism ever produced in English. It is also the first to cover terms from all of the canonical Buddhist languages and traditions: Sanskrit, Pāli, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Unlike reference works that focus on a single Buddhist language or school, The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism bridges the major Buddhist traditions to provide encyclopedic coverage of the most important terms, concepts, texts, authors, deities, schools, monasteries, and geographical sites from across the history of Buddhism. The main entries offer both a brief definition and a substantial short essay on the broader meaning and significance of the term covered. Extensive cross-references allow readers to find related terms and concepts. An appendix of Buddhist lists (for example, the four noble truths and the thirty-two marks of the Buddha), a timeline, six maps, and two diagrams are also included.

Written and edited by two of today's most eminent scholars of Buddhism, and more than a decade in the making, this landmark work is an essential reference for every student, scholar, or practitioner of Buddhism and for anyone else interested in Asian religion, history, or philosophy.

Endorsement:

"This is without a doubt the most comprehensive, authoritative, and useful dictionary of Buddhism that there is. In reading it, I learned more about my field, in a serendipitous way, than I have from any other single book."--John S. Strong, Bates College

"This will become the new standard reference in the field. Every scholar and graduate student in Buddhist studies will want a copy, as will every college instructor assigned to teach an introduction to Buddhism course. I wish I had had a work like this when I first began teaching. This is a truly monumental contribution to the field."--Lori Meeks, University of Southern California

Princeton University Press xuất bản Từ điển Phật giáo

Sau hơn một thập kỷ thực hiện, ngày 4-11-2013 Từ điển Phật giáo Princeton đã được phát hành. Với sự nỗ lực hợp tác giữa 2 học giả Phật giáo có uy tín là Robert E. Buswell Jr. và Danald S. Lopez, cuốn từ điển dày 1.300 trang này được nhà xuất bản mô tả là “từ điển Phật giáo toàn diện và có thẩm quyền nhất từng được xuất bản bằng tiếng Anh”.         

“Nó cũng là cuốn đầu tiên bao gồm những thuật ngữ từ tất cả các ngôn ngữ và truyền thống Phật giáo kinh điển: tiếng Phạn, Pali, Tây Tạng, Trung quốc, Nhật Bản và Hàn quốc,” phần mô tả tiếp tục. “Không giống các tác phẩm tham khảo vốn chỉ tập trung vào một ngôn ngữ hoặc trường phái Phật giáo, Từ điển Phật giáo Princeton là cầu nối các truyền thống Phật giáo lớn để cung cấp lượng tài liệu bách khoa về những thuật ngữ, khái niệm, văn bản, tác giả, thần thánh, trường phái, tu viện và địa danh quan trọng nhất từ khắp lịch sử của Phật giáo”.
