In the Hope of Nibbana

In the Hope of Nibbana gives a fascinating look into the process of a "religion" and culture struggling to align ethical values with the realities of the modern world. The author provides an overview of Buddhist psychology and the process of self-perfection, and describes the ultimate goal of Nibbana.The Buddhist layperson's effort to gain merit is a central theme. Includes a new postscript for this second edition.
