(revised edition) General in its approach, yet penetrating, this
book allows the reader to become acquainted with the highlights of
Buddhist philosophy. It not only treats the ideas of the founder of
the religion, but follows the development of his thought through
the ages. It points out how these ideas were used by the
psychologists of the Abhidharma, how they issued in the mystical
conceptions of Mahayana. But before all, the book treats the more
intellectual notions about time and being as found in the
Madhyamaka and Yogacara, and it analyses the logic of Buddhist
idealism.Then the reader leaves India and goes to China to become
familiar with the epochal figures of Sengzhao and Xuanzang, learns
about the Garland and Tiantai schools, and, finally, he is led
through the Japanese Zen Buddhism of Dogen and Hakuin. Is there
another book that offers a similar broad view in such a small
space? ______________________________ "Why is some of the best
contemporary work work on Indian philosophy authored by
non-Indians? Is it because we are so mired in our prejudices and
condition, that we fail to develop a proper sense of perspective
and therefore the objectivity required for correct analysis? Alfred
Scheepers' overview of Buddhist thought ranging from its inception
to its spread into the Far East, is easily one of the most
comprehensive contemporary works on the subject. And I say this
despite the presence of a host of hefty tomes on the subject lying
on my desk. The book is wrtitten with a unique flair, a love of the
subject, and although the author displays a tremendous scholarship
for his material, his writing comes across as crisp and easy. Such
is his masterly presentation that the entire ambit of Buddhism is
dealt with within 300 pages and one never gets the feeling that the
volume is only an verview. From Abhidharma to Hakuin, Scheepers
explores, analyses and quotes with remarkable fidelity. He is
careful not to impose his own values but considers the evidence
with the eyes of a man seeking enlightenment" "The Quarterly Review
of Books," Bombay, June 2000
