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.

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