Mapping the Dharma: A Concise Guide to the Middle Way of the Buddha presents a clear and comprehensive introduction to Buddhism.

It defines nearly 100 key Buddhist concepts including the Four Noble Truths, Eightfold Path, and Seven Factors of Awakening.

The relational format provides readers a view of how these concepts come together to form a comprehensive whole.

In the Appendix, readers will find a series of charts linking the book's content, an essay on meditation, and descriptions of the three major branches of contemporary Buddhism.
