bout the uthor
P
eter Della Santina was born in the USA. He has spent
many years studying and teaching in South and East Asia.
He received his BA. in religion from Wesleyan University,
Middletown, Connecticut, USA in  and a MA in philoso-
phy from the University of Delhi, India two years later. He did
his Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies also from the University of Delhi,
India in .
He worked for three years for the Institute for Advanced
Studies of world Religions, Fort Lee, New Jersey as a research
scholar translating th century Buddhist philosophical texts from
the Tibetan. He taught at several Universities and Buddhist cen-
ters in Europe and Asia including, the University of Pisa in Italy,
the National University of Singapore and Tibet House in Delhi,
India. He was the Coordinator of the Buddhist Studies pro-
ject at the Curriculum Development Institute of Singapore, a
department of the Ministry of Education from  to .
More recently, he was a senior fellow at the Indian Institute
of Advanced Study, Simla, India and taught Philosophy at the
Fo Kuang Shan Academy of Chinese Buddhism, Kaoh-shiung,
Taiwan.
For twenty-ve years Peter Della Santina has been a student
of H.H. Sakya Trizin, leader of the Sakya Order of Tibetan
Buddhism and of eminent abets of the Sakya Tradition. He
has practiced Buddhist meditation and has completed a num-
ber of retreats.

uthor’s ote
F
rom to  when I was in Singapore engaged in the
Buddhist studies project at the Curriculum Development
Institute, I was invited by the Srilankaramaya Buddhist Temple
and a number of Buddhist friends to deliver four series of lec-
tures covering some of the major traditions of Buddhism. e
lectures were popular, and thanks to the eorts of Mr. Yeo Eng
Chen and others, they were recorded, transcribed and printed
for limited free distribution to students of the Dharma. In the
years since, the lectures which originally appeared in the form
of four separate booklets have remained popular and have even
been reprinted from time to time. Consequently, it seemed to
me to be desirable to collect the four series of lectures in one vol-
ume, and after appropriate revision to publish them for the gen-
eral use of the public.
In keeping with the original objectives of the lectures, this
book is as far as possible non-technical. It is intended for ordi-
nary readers not having any special expertise in Buddhist stud-
ies or in Buddhist canonical languages. Original language terms
have therefore been kept to a minimum and foot notes have been
avoided. Names of texts cited are sometimes left untranslated,
but this is because the English renderings of some titles are awk-
ward and hardly make their subject matter more clear. In brief
I hope that this book will serve as the beginning of its readers’
Buddhist education and not the end of it. e book can supply
a general introduction to the major traditions of Buddhism, but
