Dictionary of Buddhism

India influenced the West through fairy tale literature and the East through Buddhism.

In order to fully understand Buddhism, which has a history of 2500 years, taking into account the characteristics of the fields in which it spreads, it is necessary to read books on the subject, get used to the terms and make some effort. Korhan Kaya's Buddhism Dictionary fills a big gap in this field.

This dictionary has been prepared to explain correctly the most important places, concepts and people of Buddhist formations in different languages and cultures of the geographies where it spread outside India, especially Indian Buddhism, and to enlighten the reader about Buddhism. This dictionary, which also touches upon issues related to Uyghur Buddhism, appeals to many different disciplines of social sciences as well as to all kinds of readers interested in theology.
