Outlines of Mahayana Buddhism
4 stars
This book was originally published over a century ago, so I don’t assume that it gives me an understanding of contemporary Buddhist thought. However, it is an accessible introduction to the main outlines (which is all the title promises) of an unfamiliar religion. I suspect, though, that the Buddhism expounded by Suzuki was “seminary Buddhism,” not Buddhism as understood by most practicing Buddhists.
