5.0 out of 5 stars My Review, 6 Mar 2007
Although written in 1949 this is an excellent introduction to Buddhism and takes you through the story of the Buddha and the history of the spread of Buddhism. It then gives a chapter on all the main schools of Buddhism, e.g. Therevada, Zen etc. One of my favourite spiritual quotes of all time is in this book, written by the author himself concerning Man's Enlightenment:

" The process of becoming is a circle,; the process of becoming more, of growth is towards or away from the wholeness. Buddhism begins with the Budhha's enlightenment and ends with man's. And the final Goal? We know not, nor is it yet, or likely to be for aeons to come, our immediate concern. The faint of heart will ever seek some resting place, some weak finality; for the strong, the first and the last word is and ever more will be - Walk On !"

Overall a highly recommended book, of which I have returned to many times over the years.
