The Platform Sutra records the teachings of Hui-neng, the Sixth Patriarch, who is revered as one of the two great figures in the founding of Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism. This translation is the definitive English version of the eighth-century Ch'an classic. Phillip B. Yampolsky has based his translation on the Tun-huang manuscript, the earliest extant version of the work. A critical edition of the Chinese text is given at the end of the volume. Dr. Yampolsky also furnishes a lengthy and detailed historical introduction which contains much information hitherto unavailable even to scholars, and provides the context essential to an understanding of Hui-neng's work. He gives an account of the history and legends of Ch'an Buddhism, with particular attention to the traditions associated with Hui-neng, quoting or summarizing the most important narratives. He then discusses the various texts of the Platform Sutra, and analyzes its contents.

An excellent introduction to the patriarchal lineage of the Chan School and the controversies surrounding the figure of Huineng and the making of the text; but in terms of translation, I would recommend the earlier version by Wing-tsit Chan.
评分mind-blowing work.

评分前面的介绍分析部分易读且精彩。后面的英文版佛经读起来味如嚼蜡,所幸最后有附中文版。最喜无念行一段。
评分mind-blowing work.
