Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

This second, revised edition of South Asian Buddhism: A Survey presents an updated, comprehensive examination of the full range of Buddhist traditions throughout South Asia from the beginnings of the religion up to the present.
Readers of this book will develop an understanding of South Asian Buddhism that is both broad and deep, gaining insights adopted from leading research in the field on topics covering a wide array of Buddhist expressions in thought, practice, literature, and crafts from India and surrounding lands. New topics discussed include post-war Buddhist Nationalism, contemporary Buddhist movements, the state of Buddhism in Nepal, India and Bangladesh, and Buddhist diasporas in the West.
This edition offers informative descriptions and analysis of the history of Buddhism in the region, supplemented by ample up-to-date scholarly references, text excerpts, tables, illustrations, an expanded glossary of terms, and numerical lists of Buddhist concepts. South Asian Buddhism is written for teachers, students, and members of the general public with strong interests in Buddhism.
