Synopsis:
This uniquely contemporary guide to understanding the timeless message of Buddhism, and in particular its relevance in actual human relations, was inspired by Shantideva's Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life", the oral instructions of living Buddhist masters, Martin Heidegger's classic Being and Time, and the writings of Christian theologians Paul Tillich and John MacQuarrie.
"The text is written with unusual clarity of style, making difficult matters readily accessible. It fills a serious gap in the dialogue beyween East and West, and does so in the most sensitive, most intelligent, and most careful way. The use of phenomenology and existentialism is not only judicious, but pioneering; yet, the vocabulary of these disciplines is never allowed to get in the way of an authentic encounter with a tradition that is radically different. Batchelor's strategy - to use the Western disciplines in order to make Buddhism accessible to the Westerner - is, I think, highly successful. This book makes a fine introduction." Professor David Michael Levin. |
