What makes Bob Thurman an authority on Buddhism other than his academic qualifications? If you check his explanations of Buddhist ideas in his book "Why the Dalai Lama Matters" you will see that they are quite confusing and even misleading with their use of pseudo-scientific and Biblical language.

See for yourself. On this site is a series of articles critiquing Bob's book:
