I read this book in high school when I was still a Buddhist, it blew my mind; Back then I was a real die-hard Buddhist and read a lot of Buddhadhasa Bhikkhu. However, like Søren Kierkegaard's infatuation with Hegel, my infatuation with Buddhism lead me to pursue it in inhumanely enthusiastic ways which eventually, ironically, lead me to some questions that it cannot answer and would soon tear the whole fabric of Buddhist life apart for me. Now when I look back on this book, I realize that it is actually the Buddhist version of those claims by Muslims that the Quran told of science that far surpasses ours today... those funny comic strips of Muslims looking at the Quran with a microscope... you get the idea... I was going to give this book one start but then I realized that, like Dan Brown, or Michael Crichton, no matter how silly the content, it was still bearable time-killing reading to do...
Read this book back in high school. Used to believe in it until finally discovered that it was a total fraud and the guy who wrote it wasn't quite right in the head.
