Description
"The lucid and graceful ease with which Nancy Wilson Ross reviews the history and elucidates the methods of the great schools of Buddhism is unmatched - as far as I know - in the literature of the subject. 'Buddhism: A Way of Life and Thought' will be for scholars as delightful a refreshment of their interest and learning as it will be an enlightening and fascinating introduction for readers only now discovering this first and greatest of the world religions." --Joseph Campbell; Rear Cover
