concise summary of Buddhism,
By Pang (HongKong Buddhist Library) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Buddhism: Exploring Buddhism and Zen (Paperback)
Buddhism is not a religion because it demands cultivation and realization. It is therefore essential to select only writings written by the enlightened; or one can be led astray. Master Nan has been a Buddhist practitioner almost all his life and is believed by many to have seen the path. This book reviews all the basic concepts in Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism. Being written by someone who really knows, it is very different.Like all Master Ma's books, it is a book that you would like to keep for your whole life and then pass onto you children. For those who are interested in this area, you will never regret owning this book.

Good Scholarly book on Buddhism,

This review is from: Basic Buddhism: Exploring Buddhism and Zen (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by a friend in China. It is not light reading, but is an indepth examination of Vedic and annimist roots of Buddhist philosophy. It is a peerless eximination of the evolution of Buddhism as it has developed to guide and shape Chinese thought. Along with Taoism and Confucianism, Buddhism is passively reflected in several thousand years of Chinese cultural development.Great indepth view! |
