Summary
This very short introduction offers listeners a superb overview of the teachings of the Buddha, as well as a succinct guide to the integration of Buddhism into daily life.
What are the distinctive features of Buddhism? Who was the Buddha, and what are his teachings? Words such as karma and nirvana have entered our vocabulary, but what do they mean?
Damien Keown provides a lively, informative response to these frequently asked questions about Buddhism. As he sheds light into how Buddhist thought developed over the centuries, Keown also highlights how contemporary dilemmas can be faced from a Buddhist perspective.
In the second edition, Keown provides new perspectives on Buddhist thought, including up-to-date material about the evolution of Buddhism throughout Asia, the material culture of Buddhism and its importance, new teachings on the ethics of war and peace, and changes to ethnicity, class, and gender.

Very Insightful
I got to learn a lot stuff more in depth than previously anywhere else. This is definitely a great jumping on point for anybody who wants to learn more about Buddhism, especially if you already know the basics and want to learn that little bit extra such as the originsof specific teachings and hwo they have evolved over the centuries.
I was the sort of person who already knew some key aspects about Buddhism but this book gave me a lot of new information I never knew about. By the end you feel as if all the key points have been addressed without the need of any unnecessary jargon.
