Features: The history of Buddhism is long and profound, its doctrines and teachings are deep and subtle, and its classic works are vast as the sea. To summarize it so concisely and accessibly as "Common Knowledge Q&A" requires profound expertise. The format of "Everyone's Little Books" is compact, allowing readers to slip them into their pockets and read a few pages anytime, anywhere. Whether waiting by the roadside, queuing for theater tickets, traveling, or in the park, it's all possible. With more readers engaging in this, society will be enriched with cultural vibrancy and a learning atmosphere—couldn't that be a good thing?
The purpose of editing this series of books is to save readers' time, enabling them to gain more knowledge in a shorter period. In the age of information explosion, there is too much to learn. Supplementary learning has become a frequent necessity. If one is not skilled at it, grabbing bits here and there—patching up this today and that tomorrow—may not yield the best results. If reading is treated like taking medicine, one might also lose the (: calmness and joy) and pleasure that should come with it. Each book in this series is brief, so even if readers read it slowly and savor it, it won’t take much time. They can truly enjoy the joy of reading. If they treat it as medicine, it’s fine too—small doses, easy to take, and easy to digest.
