"The doctrines, wisdom, and virtues of Buddhism are full of a spiritual depth unappreciated by most. Thomas Berry, in this illuminating survey, explores that depth of spirit by analyzing the history and philosophy of Buddhism. His eloquent and informative style brings the Western reader a complete understanding of the Buddhist interpretation of man's earthly life and spiritual destiny. The text is aimed specifically at the general reader who knows very little about Buddhist traditions, and Mr. Berry succeeds in providing a well-rounded introduction to this faith." -- Back of cover.

"This book attempts to provide a description and interpretation of the religion of the Hindus as practised and experienced by them. A wholly original exposition of Hinduism, it focuses on Hindu religious psychology and behaviour rather than the mythology, dogmas, and rituals as found in the religious texts. Rejecting familiar assumptions about early Hinduism, Nirad C. Chaudhuri makes a reassessment of its formative influences, and goes on to examine temple and image worship in general, as well as the three major cults of Siva, Krishna, and the Mother Goddess." --Goodreads.
