Buddhism Dictionary
Revised Content:
Readers of English translations of Buddhist texts often encounter a host of unfamiliar names, terms, and phrases whose meanings may not be immediately clear. This is due to the specialized terminology of Buddhism, where translation alone may not fully convey the depth of meaning. East Asian Buddhist diction is layered with a mix of Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, and Japanese, making it challenging for the uninitiated to navigate this linguistic landscape without the aid of a reliable reference.
The Soka Gakkai Dictionary of Buddhism, a revised and expanded version of the 1983 publication "A Dictionary of Buddhist Terms and Concepts," serves as a welcome resource to address this need. Comprising over 2,700 entries, this dictionary is written in a clear and accessible manner for the general reader. While primarily designed to support the Soka Gakkai's translations of Nichiren's works, the dictionary also encompasses a wealth of terms found across various Buddhist traditions.
The entries in the dictionary cover a diverse range of content, including technical terms, historical figures, doctrinal texts, institutions, and place names. Importantly, the dictionary provides comprehensive cross-references, allowing readers to explore the meanings of term equivalents as they appear in different languages or contexts.
The dictionary also includes ten appendices featuring maps and word lists, enabling readers to readily locate terms in English, Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, or Japanese. This holistic approach ensures that the dictionary serves as a valuable tool for both students of Nichiren Buddhism and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Buddhist texts in general.
It is important to note that, like other Buddhist masters, Nichiren's particular teachings were often presented within the broader context of other Buddhist beliefs and practices. To fully apprehend the specific, one must also grasp the general context. The Soka Gakkai Dictionary of Buddhism, by addressing both levels, provides essential knowledge that is invaluable for readers navigating the complex and multifaceted world of Buddhism.
