Book Review: What the Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula

This is the most authoritative book I've read on what the Buddha taught. It dispels some myths and clarifies some of the confusion about Buddhism. It seems well-documented and provides a straightforward explanation of the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path. Other chapters on the Doctrine of No-Soul: Anatta and Meditation are very interesting. Although first published in 1959, I found the Chapter on What the Buddha Taught and the World Today still relevant.
