| Summary: | "The three most venerated sutras of Zen in a true pocket-sized edition. The Heart Sutra, introducing the Prajnaparamita teaching of emptiness; the Diamond Sutra, introducing the bodhisattva path followed by the Buddha; and the Platform Sutra, introducing the teaching of Zen that students have been putting into practice for the past 1,300 years. In addition to new translations of all three texts, Red Pine has included an introduction that ties all three together and just enough footnotes to explain what needs explaining but not enough to get in the way" |
