Title: This author is NOT a scholar of Buddhism
Review: It is abundantly clear from the author's writings that he is neither a serious scholar nor a sincere practitioner of Buddhism, and his books on the subject are therefore quite frankly a waste of time. He is prone to gross mischaracterizations and even denigrations of religious traditions and lineages, as well as to taking very narrow, unrefined and polemical positions. This is, of course, always the danger when someone expounds on a subject in which he is insufficiently versed or experienced.
