Quote from An Introduction to Buddhism

An Introduction to Buddhism: Teachings, History, and Practices

by Peter Harvey

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 1990       396 pages

Like Christianity, Buddhism had a noble ethical system, but it appeared to be a religion of self-help, not dependent on God or priests. Like science, it seemed to be based on experience, saw the universe as ruled by law, and did not regard humans and animals as radically distinct. Yet for those with a taste for mysticism, it offered more than science.   (p. 300)
