About the Author
Huston Smith, Ph.D. was born in China more than 80 years ago to missionary parents. He served briefly as a pastor in the Midwest. Since the 1950s, he has held teaching positions on the faculties of MIT, Syracuse University, and most recently, the University of California–Berkeley. Dr. Smith produced one of the first public television documentary films, which led to his classic The World’s Religions (formerly The Religions of Man). His many books include Beyond the Post-Modern Mind, Forgotten Truth, and Cleansing the Doors of Perception.
