Good IntroductionBy Eye FliesThis book is part biography of the founder of Buddhism; and part introduction to the early history and teachings of the religion. It is a short; consice introduction; well suited to the curious and learned alike. One of the outstanding aspects of this volume; is the author's retelling of the historical background of the Buddhist faith; which places Buddhism squarely in the Vedic/Hindu tradition. By choosing this route; the author is able to show how Buddhism was simultaneously traditional and revolutionary. Highly recommended.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful and conciseBy John SquillanteAs an introduction to the teachings of Gotama; this is an excellent choice. As a beginner myself; it was wonderful to find such a concise record of the origins of Buddhist thought; and its earliest lessons laid out and explained. The book weaves together the lessons of Buddhism and the life of Gotama in an informative and interesting narrative.
