Description
The Lankavatara Sutra Translation and Commentary by Red Pine The Lankavatara Sutra is considered the holy grail of Zen, and its teachings have been passed down through generations of Buddhist masters. This sutra is unique in that it is the only Zen text spoken by the Buddha himself. It presents two fundamental teachings: that our perceptions of reality are mere constructs of the mind, and that true understanding can only be achieved through direct experience. Red Pine's translation of the Lankavatara Sutra is the first English version of the original text used by Bodhidharma, which has been relied upon by Chinese Zen masters for centuries. The book includes summaries, explanations, and notes, as well as relevant Sanskrit terms, to help readers understand this complex and challenging text.
