Reviews for The Buddha and His Teachings

-This splendid collection of classic and modern Buddhist texts provides insight into the teaching and practice of Buddhism.--- Publishers Weekly -Among many good introductions to Buddhism, this one stands out for seeing to it that its principles and practices are presented--through either translations or original commentaries--by masters who have dedicated their lives to teaching Westerners. The result is a book which, while faithful to the Buddhist tradition, speaks unusually effectively to an English-speaking audience.---Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions
