{"product_id":"buddhism-and-monotheism-peter-harvey-9781108731379","title":"Buddhism and Monotheism","description":"Buddhism is a religion lacking the idea of a unique creator God. It is a kind of trans-polytheism that accepts many long-lived gods, but sees ultimate reality, Nirvana, as beyond these. It does, though, see Dhamma\/Dharma as a Basic Pattern encompassing everything, with karma as a law-like principle ensuring that good and bad actions have appropriate natural results. This Element explores these ideas, along with overlaps in Buddhist and monotheist ideas and practices, the development of more theist-like ideas in Mahāyāna Buddhism, Buddhist critiques of the idea of a creator God, and some contemporary Buddhist views and appreciations of monotheisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Harvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108731376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108731379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Peter Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947773133055,"sku":"9781108731379","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e47fe904-cd9b-4e7c-97e3-fe1980dacb40.jpg?v=1681520711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buddhism-and-monotheism-peter-harvey-9781108731379","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
