The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Buddhism

Buddhism is a diverse field of study that combines religion, philosophy, history, political science, sociology, art history, philology and textual studies, and informs a variety of comparative studies. The field’s heightened profile in academia and in the news has generated interest from scholars working in different disciplines, underscoring the need for a comprehensive reference resource. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Buddhism provides wide-ranging coverage on foundational and emerging topics in Buddhist studies in in-depth scholarly articles written by experts worldwide. To read The Oxford Encyclopedia of Buddhism articles online, see the Buddhism section of ORE Religion. This section will continue to grow as the project expands.
