Amazon.com The World's Religions, by Huston Smith, has been a standard introduction to its eponymous subject since its first publication in 1958. Smith writes humbly, forswearing judgment on the validity of world religions. His introduction asks, "How does it all sound from above? Like bedlam, or do the strains blend in strange, ethereal harmony? ... We cannot know. All we can do is try to listen carefully and with full attention to each voice in turn as it addresses the divine. Such listening defines the purpose of this book." His criteria for inclusion and analysis of religions in this book are "relevance to the modern mind" and "universality," and his interest in each religion is more concerned with its principles than its context. Therefore, he avoids cataloging the horrors and crimes of which religions have been accused, and he attempts to show each "at their best." Yet The World's Religions is no pollyannaish romp: "It is about religion alive," Huston writes. "It calls the soul to the highest adventure it can undertake, a proposed journey across the jungles, peaks, and deserts of the human spirit. The call is to confront reality." And by translating the voices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Christianity, and Judaism, among others, Smith has amplified the divine call for generations of readers. --Michael Joseph Gross

《道学通论:道家·道教·丹道》(增订版)中特设“方术篇”是很有意义的。“方术”在中国文化中有其特殊地位，而且常常带有某种神秘性，如何透过其神秘性了解其中的真实价值，是一个非常困难的问题。而胡孚琛同志原来是学化学的，有着很好的科学训练，因此他能够较好地把各种“方术”实事求是地加以梳理，并讨论其现代意义，对此问题的深化是有重要启发的。

本书分为前、后两编：前编，印度佛教，包括：佛时与佛后之教法、大乘之建立、大乘之发展等；后编，西藏佛教，包括：佛教如何传入、佛教之分派等内容。
