5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, overall discussion of Buddhism, May 9, 1998
By A Customer
This book will give you a truly deep understanding of general Buddhism, but more importantly, the essence of Buddhism, the spiritual ideals behind it and the relationship of all schools. I think it is the best book on the subject I have read, and over the last decade that amounts to several cases of books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly, February 19, 1998
By A Customer
A very comprehensive text on Buddhism. The reading is difficult and very scholarly. It seems well written and researched, but I would not recommend it to the lay reader simply interested in a history of Buddhism. This text analyzes and gets very deep, very quickly. A text for religious study majors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Reference and in depth study, November 5, 2007
By M. Wolfe (Missoula, MT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is both informative and inspiring. A great read for buddhists who need the intellectual hook but also hope to understand the mythic context. It is a great reference for understanding other Buddhist teachings.
