that it is a good book about Buddha, then it will be a true review. Unfortunately it is not.. Sometimes, I think that because of all these definition it separates people and that is the cause of all the problems in the world. I have realized long ago that one has to be objective, learn from ALL religions, pick out the best and apply it to one's own life. After reading the scriptures and text from both religion, I think that Buddha is more defined. He will define what he says. But he'll always say that one must practise because words cannot describe the experience that he has experienced. I think the Jesus's teaching are more cryptic and more open to interpretation. So one needs to let go of his ego in order to receive his teachings. I could go on for days but I think that's all for now. I suggest to all not to take his book so literally. I think there's a very good book (although it's not suitable for beginners) titled: In Buddha's Words edited by Bhikkhu Bodhi. I've read this book and I think it's great.
