This introductory guide to one of the world’s largest religions is a wonderful opportunity to dip one’s toes into the waters and learn more about the religion than one would be able to glean from a Wikipedia article. Sachs goes over the basic tenets, the history of the faith and its founder, and the various incarnations the religion took as it spread across Asia and throughout the world. Whether you are considering adopting a Buddhist spiritual practice or you are merely curious, this book is a good place to start.
