    “Book Descriptions: Including new translations of nine texts from the first thousand years of Zen, this collection of sacred Buddhist texts with refreshed commentary is made to be carried with you.

    Dating from the middle of the second century BC to the middle of the ninth century AD, Zen Roots includes the Heart, the Diamond, and the Platform sutras, selections from the Vimalakirti and Lankavatara sutras, Bodhidharma's Principles & Practice, Sengcan's Trusting the Mind, Yongjia’s Song of Enlightenment, and Huangbo's Transmission of the Mind.

    These translations are accompanied by introductions and enough notes to explain what needs explaining but not so many as to get in the way. Sized for toting with you, this collection is the perfect companion for travel, to introduce to the higher elevations, or just read in the backyard.”
