Buddhist book for Pure land sect buddhism.
There's a woman who holds meetings on campus all the time and she gave it to me. I was supposed to read it and return it but I've been very busy. Almost done with it now though.
Purland Buddhism doesn't have much to distinguish it from Christianity really, I prefer Theravada philosophy myself.

i agree, Theravada is closer to the roots.
the chinese influences in Mahayana etc. made Buddhism more of an institutional religion and less of a discipline.
imho
A clever apology for Buddhism as a way out of the sterility of modernism is offered up by E.F. Schumacher in A Guide For The Perplexed.
