Read in January, 1993
recommends it for: the source seekers
This classic brings amazing translations of tantras, sutras, poems, and more from way back in the Buddhist canon. Also contains succinct description of Siddhartha's getting of wisdom, and even a description of the future Buddha of the next age, Maitreya.

Read in March, 2008
I only read the story of the life of Buddha (this collection has other things in it) and it was pretty much the worst telling of that story I have ever read. If you want to know about Buddhism I would recommend The Words of My Perfect Teacher.
