From Culadasa's website:"The autobiographical musings of a Westerner who first became a Tibetan monk, then a Korean Zen monk, and ended up as a secular Buddhist. This book is a very useful critique of the shortcomings of institutional and religious Buddhism. It, and his “Buddhism Without Beliefs,” enunciate an agnostic alternative to Buddhist religiosity that is well worth adopting. The author’s re-interpretation of the traditional story of the Buddha’s life is especially fascinating and helpful. There are many good reasons to read this book. It is an important work, and is very strongly recommended. But there is one important caveat: Batchelor’s disappointment and lack of personal fulfillment have led him to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Because he has not been able to achieve the ultimate goals of the Buddhadharma himself, he has seriously underestimated the validity and attainability of those goals. It does not occur to him that, not only have the Dharma teachings been grossly distorted through time, but so have the meditation practices that once led uncountable numbers to personal transformation and Awakening. A “Christian Atheist” is someone who accepts and values the teachings of Jesus, but doesn’t believe that Jesus is God or has the power of salvation. As a “Buddhist Atheist,” the author sees Buddha’s teachings as a valuable path to better living and social change, but not as a means to personal spiritual transformation or any transcendent Awakening. In the end, his disillusionment and cynicism show through quite clearly. This is a valuable, informative, entertaining and highly readable book, but despite the author’s seeming credentials, it is NOT authoritative on the subject of Buddhadharma."

Thanks to his books, what Stephen Batchelor has found, we can find.I had kept delaying to read this early book by Batchelor, on the theory that this early Batchelor book has been superseded in content by his more recent books.My mistake.In this book, Batchelor observes that we really know nothing about the Buddha's education, and how the Buddha came to arrive at the basis for his enlightenment. I have also always been conscious of this fact - but for me, this had never been a sine qua non for my attraction to and appreciation of the Buddhadharma..Ironically, as a counterpoint, Batchelor's book provides us with the nature of Batchelor's own unique education and quest, of the Buddhadharma, which is compelling and very edifying.In retrospect, I feel that Batchelor was very lucky to have been exposed to and ordained as a monk in Tibetan Buddhism, as his initial exposure to "Buddhism." GREAT DOUBT, GREAT AWAKENING! It's uncanny how "right view" Batchelor's instincts have been, during his quest.One great revelation for me was this book's information about the Pali canon, and the unique biographical information contained therein about the Buddha, which is significantly different from the standard biographical information about the Buddha's early life that is universally publicized. This biographical information may be one reason why certain Buddhist scholars attach such significance to the Pali canon, in addition to the actual Pali texts containing the Buddhadharma.

The author has a large vocabulary but a wonderful way with words. I've always been so interested in religious studies although I feel I can take certain aspects of each religion to agree upon, while not agreeing with others. I've also always wondered what it'd be like to be a monk, and what the differences of each sect of Buddhism have in common. I feel more spiritual than religious. I believe in good morals but don't feel the need to believe in a creator. This book really brings things together for those who wonder about certain orthodox methods and if it is ok to believe in some things but not others. Overall a great read.

Stephen's journey includes becoming a Tibetan Buddhist monk, disrobing, and studying Zen Buddhism in Korea then eventually, logically, discards orthodoxy, rites, rituals, traditions & scripture, gods, & spirits as unhelpful or believable. Rather reality as it is in the natural world.Today he's happiest incorporating the Dhamma into his daily life as Gotama taught. Wonderful!

So I got this book and I’m almost done with it. I found the first 150 or so pages did nothing but talk about the author’s life and history with Buddhism. Toward the end the author began to describe Buddha and his life, but it’s hard to follow. With this being the first book I’ve ever read about Buddhism I can say it is not telling a very good story, nor is it really informative.

Very interesting read. This was actually recommended by James Altucher (on one of his podcasts) so I was curious to read it. It had a great deal of detail and historical facts that were well recounted. It was a very deep look at the journey of the author and in the end, I found his conclusion to be one that I aligned with as well. It was a great account of how he found his way into (and somewhat out of) Buddhism.

Batchelor's patchwork of stories about his monastic and lay life and some of the things he has seen and learned was an enjoyable read for one who has interest in Buddhism but is not persuaded that there is any supernatural justification for following that path. He sprinkles some vaguely supported arguments for benefits of mindfulness meditation, but mostly flips between his life and the historical life of Gotama.

Stephen Batchelor has gone to the most original sources available to sort out the real message from the man who is now known as the original Buddha. It is surprising and rewarding to learn that concepts such as karma and reincarnation are not a part of Buddha's message! The book demands your attention and reads like a textbook in some sections, but the overall experience will illuminate both those with prior Buddhist exposure and those approaching Buddhism for the first time. Rewarding read and a life changer for those who can leave behind the misconceptions that are too prevalent in modern Buddhist theory and practice.
