[Caleb Mar]

The sheer amount of Buddhisms? The amount of history in this book? It was great. I like how the author explained everything in subchapters, and I liked how those subchapters were relevant to the main and the one that came before it.

[Desi Pilla]

This book was the perfect read for a Westerner wanting to introduce themselves to Buddhism for the first time. The author takes the reader through the origins, teachings, and practices of Buddhism. It is written in a very clear and understandable manner.

Text for Contemplative Practice Traditions course. I both appreciated and found tedious the q&a format.
