BUDDHANUSMRTI: A Glossary of Buddhist Terms is an extremely important source
material for any student of Buddhism. Written in a way to be useful to the
student as well as the scholar, this work is based on the Tipitaka, the
Dhammapada, Visuddhimagga, the Jatakas, Milindapañha Pali and the
Nidanakatha. Sanskrit works like the Mahavastu Avadana and the works of
Ashvaghosa such as Buddhacarita, Saundarananda, Vajrasuci, Sutralankara have
also been sourced. The editor has also chosen words from the Avadana
literature and the Mahayana Sutras. Nyaya classics like Nagarjuna's
Madhyamika Karika also serve are source books of Buddhist terms for the
glossary.

The book is arranged in 5 sections:
Introduction
Glossary
Appendices
Bibliography
Index

Extensive references provided at the end of each definition will benefit
advanced readers and serve as guidelines for further reading.

The USP of this glossary is that it provides carefully constructed
definitions that lead to a further and deeper comprehension of the teachings
attributed to the Buddha. The Pali and Sanskrit terms are arranged in an
easily accessible format. Each term has been described lucidly. The
descriptions also convey a sense of the historical and contextual place of
that term in Buddhist epistemology.

Hence, this glossary succeeds in conveying an insight into the development
of Buddhist thought, as recorded in the Pali and Sanskrit traditions, and a
deeper understanding of Buddhism.
