Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Outline of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra The Rev. Master Xuanzang translated Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra during 660-663 A.D.(commonly called Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra). According to the narration of American scholar Sally Honey Wriggins in his book Xuanzang: A Buddhist Pilgrim on the Silk Road, Westview Press, 1966, "Xuanzhang returned to China with three copies of the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra. Xuanzang, with a team of disciple translators, commenced translating the voluminous work in 660 A.D., using all three versions to ensure the integrity of the source documentation " .( P.206 ) The Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra translated by Xuanzang, is composed of 600 volumes, 4 places and 16 assemblies, 200,000 verses all together. Assembly one consist of total 132,600 verses, 79 chapters, 400 volumes. The first book of 100,000-verses' Satasahasrika Prajnaparamita mentioned above by Dharma Master Dongchu is not completely the same as Assembly I of this 400 volumes newly translated by Xuanzang. After Xuanzang completed translation of Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra in 664 A.D., he said, "This sutra is the foundation for governing a country and a great treasure for the human and heaven beings." Afterwards, Master went on to translate and spread the basic thoughts, sutras and shastras of Dharma Nature School. Three Shastra, Tiantai and Chan Sect in China, which belong to the School of Non being (Emptiness), are all derived from Prajna thoughts; Consciousness Only, Huayan and Tantra sects, which belong to the School of Being, are derived partly from Prajna thoughts and partly from Yogachara ideas. The compiler of this "Digest of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra " is Victor Chiang who is the founder of Buddhist Tripitaka Foundation, a researcher at Dept. of Religious Studies of Peking University(2008) and visiting professor at China Min Zhu University(2008) .

Book excerpt: Winner of the Thornton Wilder Prize for Translation The most influential Buddhist sutra in the Mahayana tradition, from one of the world’s preeminent translators of religious texts The Heart Sutra is Buddhism in a nutshell. It has had the most profound and wide–reaching influence of any text in Buddhism. This short text covers more of the Buddha’s teachings than any other scripture, and it does so without being superficial or hurried. Although the original author is unknown, he was clearly someone with a deep realization of the Dharma. For this new English translation, Red Pine, award–winning translator of Chinese poetry and religious texts, has utilized various Sanskrit and Chinese versions, refining the teachings of dozens of ancient teachers together with his own commentary to offer a profound word–for–word explication. Divided into four parts and broken into thirty–five lines to make it easier to study or chant, and containing a glossary of names, terms, and texts, The Heart Sutra is a wise book of deep teaching destined to become the standard edition of this timeless statement of Mahayana truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the famous Heart Sūtra that reveals the tenderness and compassion underlying the striking rhetoric of this popular Buddhist text The radical message of the Heart Sūtra, one of Buddhism’s most famous texts, is a sweeping attack on everything we hold most dear: our troubles, the world as we know it, even the teachings of the Buddha himself. Several of the Buddha’s followers are said to have suffered heart attacks and died when they first heard its assertion of the basic groundlessness of our existence—hence the title of this book. Overcoming fear, the Buddha teaches, is not to be accomplished by shutting down or building walls around oneself, but instead by opening up to understand the illusory nature of everything we fear—including ourselves. In this book of teachings, Karl Brunnhölzl guides practitioners through this ‘crazy’ sutra to the wisdom and compassion that lie at its core.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gyōnen’s Transmission of the Buddha Dharma in Three Countries is the first English translation of this work and a new assessment of it. Gyōnen (1240-1321) has been recognized for establishing a methodology for the study of Buddhism that would come to dominate Japan. The three countries Gyōnen considers are India, China and Japan. Ronald S. Green and Chanju Mun describe Gyōnen’s innovative doctrinal classification system (panjiao) for the first time and compare it to other panjiao systems. They argue that Gyōnen’s arrangement and what he chose to exclude served political purposes in the Kamakura period, and thus engage current scholarship on the construction of Japanese Buddhism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this small book Lama Zopa Rinpoche covers an incredible amount of ground. He starts by emphasizing the importance of compassion and universal responsibility and how to make life meaningful, then gives a brief explanation of the nature of the enlightened mind and how we can attain it, and finally offers an amazing and extensive explanation of emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality, analyzing the way various phenomena exist and teaching how to meditate on emptiness. Within these teachings, Rinpoche also touches on several of the other main points of the path to enlightenment, such as bodhicitta, the three scopes and impermanence. But, in the end, this wonderfully practical book is a manifestation of Rinpoche's peerless wisdom realizing emptiness and a testament to the personal experience of this rare and precious teacher.
