The eternal legacy : an introduction to the canonical literature of Buddhism by Sangharakshita

Review From LibraryThing:

This is a survey of canonical Buddhist works. I think it was intended for active students of Buddhism, not so much for interested outsiders. It contains a short summary of all types of buddhist works but not really any generalization or comparison to literatures of other religions. But the one thing I learned from this book was how vast the field of buddhist literature is.

Priceless Jewel by Sangharakshita

A wonderful collection of thirteen essays recounting the author's reflections on his encounters as a Buddhist with Western thought and Western thinkers. Deeply thought-provoking, inspiring, and equally good read as Buddha-dharma or as literature.
