The Lankavatara Sutra: Translation and Commentary
Red Pine
Zen's first patriarch, Bodhidharma, gave a copy of Lankavatara Sutra to his successor, Hui-k'o, and told him everything he needed to know was in this book. Passed down from teacher to student ever since, this is the only Zen sutra ever spoken by the Buddha. This title is suitable for those seeking to deepen their understanding or knowledge of Zen.
