An approachable introduction to the historical foundations of oriental religion and philosophy... and very importantly, how those things infuse to an extent that is not so intuitive to those steeped in classic western philosophy or religion.

However, this book is somewhat dated in a few ways. This isn't an academic reference by any means, but it makes for a fun read for the casually curious. I expected a few more references that I could follow up on, but this isn't a good primer for anything beyond the intuition of oriental thought.
