The novel does make frequent reference to Buddhist philosophy. Readers without a passing familiarity with Buddhism may find these references somewhat confusing, though the text does explain most of them sufficiently. However, for those with a more traditional Christian background, use of a Buddhist primer might assist a deeper understanding of much of the text.
