I read this book in the library and found out it's a very good introduction of Buddhism. Unlike other introduction books, this book explains many important Buddhism ideas in a clear, easy to understand, appropriate, professional and philosophical way. The author is an erudite professor and researcher of Buddhism; he could even explain those conceptions through Sanskrit. For people who want to understand or teach Buddhism but be afraid of its terminology, I would strongly recommend this book.
