RELIGIOUS MOTIVATION AND THE ORIGINS OF BUDDHISM: A Social-Psychological Exploration of the Origins of a World Religion
by Torkel Brekke
Why did people in North India from the 5th century BC choose to leave the world and join a sect later coined as Buddhism? This is the first book to apply the insights of social psychology in order to understand the religious motivation of the people who constituted the early Buddhist community. It also addresses the more general and theoretically controversial question of how world religions come into being, by focusing on the conversion process of the individual believer.

ANICCATA ANITYATA, AN ANALYSIS OF THE BUDDHIST: Opposition to Permanence/Stability and Alternative Foundation of Ontology and/or Anthropology
by Chinchore
This work undertakes a detailed study of the nature and rationale of Anityata, the third pillar of Buddhism. It explores into the concerned rationale in its three phases: (a) Anityata in general in the sense of permanent susceptibility to change, (b) Ksanikata as the adequate condition of the occurrence/cognition of change, and (c) Ksanabhanga as the adequate condition of the occurrence/cognition of the most radical change. The inquiry into the rationale of Anityata in its different phases is undertaken with two aims in view: (a) To explore into the aspects of Buddhist opposition to permanence and/or stability in any form and adopted by anybody--Buddhist or non-Buddhist, and (b) to bring out conceptual change in the Buddhist camp and articulate the way Anityata provided a sound basis for putting forth characteristically Buddhist alternative ontology and/or anthropology in opposition to the ones which were then current, assessing the significance and importance of it. This study is novel and no one has yet undertaken any of its kind.

GREAT COMPASSION, Buddhism and Animal Rights
by Norm Phelps
Buddhism ought to be an animal rights religion par excellence. It has long held that all life forms are sacred and considers kindness and compassion the highest virtues. Moreover, Buddhism explicitly includes animals in its moral universe. Buddhist rules of conduct-including the first precept, "Do not kill"-apply to our treatment of animals as well as to our treatment of other human beings.
