Confession of a Buddhist Atheist by Stephen Batchelor
4.0
A fascinating story of both Stephen Batchelor's time within the Buddhist community, and the history of the Buddha.
Batchelor is a great writer and his story flows off the page and flies by. At times I wished to know more about him and his story and his religious travels and reasons.
I would also have loved to have heard more about Martine, his wife, and why she also became a Buddhist layperson after being a Zen nun.
His history of the Buddha is told from a historical perspective, with historical context, and that makes for a very interesting read of the history of Buddhism.
Highly recommended!
