I think it was intended for active students of Buddhism, not so much for interested outsiders. It contains a short summary of all types of buddhist works but not really any generalization or comparison to literatures of other religions. But the one thing I learned from this book was how vast the field of buddhist literature is. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
