The Book of Eights


In a manner that challenges the religious beliefs of many people—including many Buddhists—the text explicitly denies the role of ultimate religious “truth” and “knowledge” in attaining personal peace.


---Gil Fronsdal, 
in the Introduction 
to his translation and commentary 
on 'The Book of Eights' entitled 
'The Buddha before Buddhism'---
