Here is what people are saying about the Buddhist Religion by Richard H. Robinson, ISBN 0534558585
5 Star Rating  "Buddhist Religions"2009-02-14
- Reviewed By User: AYC51JYY7O1FN
It is an excellent text which is required for a correspondance course I am taking on Buddhism which is taught by a fellow who has degrees from both Oxford and Harvard universities.
 
4 Star Rating  "lots of info... "2008-10-15
- Reviewed By User: AX68IGQRS7U3O
this is pretty interesting reading. for me, it's a school book so i am finding it to be a good reference.
 
2 Star Rating  "Great for teachers, not so great for students "2007-10-21
- Reviewed By cathy8421
I had to read this book for one of my classes and I was not particularly fond of it. It is very hard to read, especially if you're new to Buddhism. I was hoping to get a good, concise explanation of the religion but instead I got a book where the author is so dry that it barely kept me awake.

In all fairness, I would say that it is a good book if you're looking for details and you're really into Buddhism.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent Overview"2006-10-31
- Reviewed By vimalakirti
I have taught from this book for several years, and I believe it is one of the best Buddhism survey textbooks available. The current edition is as much the work of Thanissaro Bikkhu as it is Willard Robinson. Bikkhu incorporates much of the most recent scholarship in Buddhist studies from scholars such as Gregory Schopen, Donald Lopez, etc.

There are no grammatical mistakes I am aware of in the current edition. I suspect the book's only one-star rating came from a disgruntled student. This is not a book that dumbs down the Buddhist religion, or attempts to please everyone. It uses sophisticated language and presents a definite pont of view. As such, it may not be appropriate for underclassmen at some colleges.

Strong's anthology "The Experience of Buddhism" is paired by the publisher with this text, and it too is excellent.
 
5 Star Rating  "best overview of the Buddhist tradition"2006-05-04
- Reviewed By steve_a_71
The one star review below was likely made by someone who read an early edition of the book - the past two editions have been an ambitious re-write by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. The result is a book whose clarity is unmatched by any other text I've come across that addresses the history of Buddhism.
 
4 Star Rating  "an excellent resource"2006-05-02
- Reviewed By j-cderricault
I used an earlier edition of this book and the companion Experience of Buddhism in an introductory buddhism course in college, and found (and still find) both to be exremely useful as overviews and wide-ranging sourcebooks for information about the full spectrum of buddhist practice and thought. I'm not sure what grammatical errors the previous reviewer refers to -- perhaps peculiar to the present edition -- but I grew up to be an english teacher and recall no such dramatic flaws and logical inconsistency. As textbooks, both are definitely expensive, but actually are the best resources I can think of for an overview of the whole religion rather than one specific branch of it. (Though it is true that the writing in this particular book is a bit dry -- it is a textbook, after all).
