Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions by Dalai Lama

The Dalai Lama and Thubten Chodron examine what Buddhist traditions share and where they differ. Their comparison brings together the Pali traditions of Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia with the Sanskrit traditions of Tibet and East Asia.

Topics include the Four Noble Truths, meditation, nirvana and enlightenment. For readers seeking a comparative understanding of Buddhist teaching and respectful dialogue across traditions, rather than an introduction to only one school.
