Recensione

'In its breadth and scope, without serious rival as an introductory volume ... Harvey's treatment is sympathetic and sensitive, managing to suggest both the breadth and richness of Buddhist teaching and its underlying unity.' The Times Literary Supplement

'... its style is lucid and well thought out. The avoidance of technical terms and academic jargon wherever possible makes it a useful handbook for undergraduate study ... an intelligent and even-handed approach.' Scottish Journal of Religious Studies
