六祖壇經 / The Wisdom of the Zen Masters

Unlike other versions of "Wisdom of the Zen Masters", our rendition instead combines selections from the most important and famous Zen texts into a single volume, and as an core axle we also supplemented with digital animation and interactive content, consequently this "Wisdom of the Zen Masters" not only serves as a perfect introduction to Zen Buddhism, but also an essential component of any Zen collection.


Consists of three volumes, the first one introduced how only one Chinese Buddhist work ever attained the status of an official scripture, the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch. And from second volume onward the book follows the orthodox line of Zen transmission in a loosely chronological format from patriarch to patriarch, master to master. The result is a delightful romp through the history of forty or so illustrious and irreverent Zen masters, complete with enlightening anecdotes and disarming wisdom.

In addition to the Platform Sutra, many episodes are drawn from other key Zen texts, including the Transmission of the Lamp, the Gateless Gate (Mumonkan), and the Blue Cliff Record. All of these are recognized as rich sources of the famous Zen koan.

"it's like an ox pulling a cart. if the cart doesn't move, do you strike the cart, or the ox? do you want to learn to sit in meditation or to sit in buddhahood? if you want to learn to sit in meditation, you won't find it through reclining here. and if you want to sit in buddhahood, know that buddhahood does not have any certain posture. if you are learning to sit in buddhahood, you may as well be killing the buddha. if you insist on sitting in something, you will never be enlightened." "i see."

August Turak talks of the red hot cannonball of zen. Is his karma missing?

Don't you believe that for you to put subtitles in this which assuming is a very instructive video you will help others like me to understand the moral of the story better than for us to guess at it just by looking at the motion pictures? Now would be a good time for you to do it!
