A Buddhist Bible History of Early Zen Buddhism SelfRealisation of Noble Wisdom The Diamond Sutra The Prajna Paramita Sutra The Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch - Forgotten Books
Author: Dwight Goddard

Book Description: — "One of the favorite books of the Beat writers, particularly the ultimate 'Dharma Bum' Jack Kerouac, A Buddhist Bible has had a huge influence on the growth of Buddhism in the English-speaking world in the 20th century and beyond. This etext was scanned and proofed from an autographed copy of the first edition. We are i... more »ndeed fortunate that this book slipped into the public domain due to a lack of timely copyright renewal.

The first edition, which was tightly focused on source documents of Zen Buddhism, was self-published in Vermont by Goddard and had 316 pages. Subsequently, a second revised and greatly enlarged edition of 677 pages was published in 1938 by E.P. Dutton (New York), and later republished by Beacon Press. The second edition, which has been in print ever since... covers a much wider range of Buddhist texts including Southern Buddhism, some related documents such as the Tao te Ching, and modern texts. The reprint also includes introductions by Robert Aitken and Huston Smith." (Quote from sacred-texts.com)
