Rating:
Summary: Transcribed past the language barrier by Buddhists
Review: The Sixth Patriarch's Dharma Jewel Platform Sutra is an impressive and "reader accessible" English translation of the fundamental text of Ch'an Buddhism encompassing the life and teachings of Master Hui Neng, the Great Master the Sixth Patriarch, as penned by one of his disciples. Effectively rendered into English by the Buddhist Text Translation Society, and enhanced with commentary by Triptaka Master Hua (an orthodox Buddhist leader), The Sixth Patriarch's Dharma Jewel Platform Sutra presents a Buddhist text transcribed past the language barrier by Buddhists in behalf of a western readership, in order to better spread wisdom and understanding among men and women of all faiths. Highly recommended reading, The Sixth Patriarch's Dharma Jewel Platform Sutra is an especially recommended contribution to Buddhist Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
