Reviews

"Despite the exotic character of its content for Western readers, the book is written in a clear and accessible prose. It is a very detailed introduction to the most interesting features of Buddhist thought." -- John J. McDermott, Texas A&M University

"The work is very significant and will be a major contribution to Buddhist studies, giving a refreshing and daring interpretation of some of the Buddhist doctrine that has grown stale from dated sources and ideas." -- Diana Yoshikawa Paul
