Ja, aber meiner Meinung nach Blödsinn... (Die Rezension meine ich.)

Dalai Lama und Thubten Chodron, Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions
Aus einer Rezension:
“Buddhism: One Teacher, Many Traditions” masterfully presents the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha by juxtaposing the fundamental elements and standard language of the Pali and Tibetan traditions “from soup to nuts.” For certain key topics (ethics, meditative practice, bodhicitta, buddha nature) the Chinese, and related traditions’, views and vocabulary are also summarized and included in the comparison. By carefully delineating differences in formal structure, practice emphasis, terms, and concepts of “path” that have developed in various traditions, the authors illuminate the core teachings that unite us as Buddhists, and clarify the points of divergence.
