Glad it was free
19. Dezember 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Just read this on my new kindle. I've been studying Buddhism for a couple of years and have found this so far to be the most useless text so far.
It starts out talking about how great figures in many religions are exxaggerated, cautions us not to do the same thing, then starts to go on about all this weird mystical stuff that Buddha supposedly did. I was especially disappointed in the discussion about the German experimentalist who "claims to have proved that a man's soul is a 'volatile odiferous princple, capable of solution in glycerine".
Really?
Maybe I just don't understand, but the bottom line is I wouldn't spend money on this book.

Buddhism from a Theosophical Worldview
1. Mai 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
A short commentary on the historical life of Buddha, as well as an overview if Buddhist thought - including tolerance, peace, benevolence, a brotherhood of all men. Against that backdrop are also balance, detachment, concepts of an illusory world and self-control and self-purification. Olcott was a theosophist, so the book reflects that worldview. Nevertheless, it is a classic and interesting work on the life and teachings of one of the great teachers of all time.

Less about Buddhism, more anti-everything else
1. April 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I got this book because I like learning about different cultures and religions. Although the author eventually gets on to talking about Buddhism, I feel like he spends more time defining Buddhism by what it is not - other religions and worldviews. Rather than speaking about the virtues of Buddhism, I was greatly distracted (and a little incensed) by what was instead a lot of pot-shots at other views, mainly Christianity. Want to learn about Buddhism? Don't start here. This gains a star because the writing in and of itself was pretty decent.

Everything in the world of Matter is unreal; the only reality is in the world of Spirit. Emancipate yourselves from the tyranny of the former; strive to attain the latter.
