Buddhist Cosmology for Westerners

Buddhist cosmology is vast and complex and is found in both Theravada and Mahayana branches of Buddhism.

Yet, it provides an important foundation for what the half-billion Buddhists around the world believe in, and what spurs them to continue on the path towards enlightenment.
