*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 212 pages Published by: Columbia University Press Edition: 6th Edition October 15, 1978 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0231083610 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0231083614 Book Dimensions: 8.8 x 5.8 x 0.7 inches Weighs: 12 ounces *Product Review* "(This) translation of one of the most famous of all Chinese Ch'an texts is certainly the best rendition so far. Without sacrificing scholarly accuracy, Yampolsky has produced a lucid and idiomatic translation which even the layman can enjoy." -- Books Abroad *Product Description* -- Literature East and West *Reader Reviews* This volume is a great entry to the Chinese take on Buddhism. It consists of a hefty introduction/historical background section as well as the text in translation and the original. The translation of the text is one of the smoothest I've read of Chinese, which must be a confluence of the material and the translator. The Platform Sutra itself consists of more than metaphysical exposition, going into the biography of Hui-neng and the context of his teaching (both of which are at least as interesting as the religious part of the text). If you want to broaden your understanding of the quest for understanding, this book would be a great addition to your library. Back To Top
