[Buddha-l] A candid question

[jkirk]

How about first getting any such book on ILL, and looking it over before 
buying?  If you don't have an academic affiliation, most public libraries 
are happy to help patrons get things on interlibrary loan.

At the risk of posing a silly question, I'll just ask how good is
it? Worth about $36 US (including shipping)? As always, money is
tight. <sigh>


Thanks,

Michael

Winston
King's _The Buddhist Transformation of Yoga_ for discussion of
meditative techniques. And G.S.P. Misra's _The Age of Vinaya_ for
a sense of the proliferation of schools in competition at the
time of the  Buddha. These books are both decades old; no doubt
there are more recent works on the topic; I'd love to hear about
them.
