What is Buddhism ?

Buddhism in a simple form is followed in Thailand. This is what is described in this book, a seventh edition of it that is. Regarding Buddhism, simplicity is more often than not rather a quality than a shortcoming. And because Buddhism is contained in all Buddhism this Theravada tradition book opens one to all traditions.
