Description

Manual of Zen Buddhism by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki. An anthology of texts relating to Zen. I. Gathas and Prayers II. The Dharanis III. The Sutras IV. From the Chinese Zen Masters V. From the Japanese Zen Masters VI. The Buddhist Statues and Pictures in a Zen Monastary Here are the famous sutras, or sermons, of the Buddha; the gathas, or hymns; the intriguing philosophical puzzles known as koan; and the dharanis, or invocations to expel evil spirits. Included also are the recorded conversations of the great Buddhist monks — intimate dialogues on subjects of momentous importance. In addition to the written selections, all of them translated by Dr. Suzuki, there are reproductions of many Buddhist drawings and paintings, including religious statues found in Zen temples, each with an explanation of its significance, and the great series of allegorical paintings “The Ten Oxherding Pictures."
