dharma - Rated Well... Where to begin... I will try to be short and sweet? I found it's poetic and subtle depth of wisdom and meanings innureable. However, I did prefer The Sutra of Hui-Neng. Which reminded me of the elegance of The Tao Te Ching. For those who enjoy spiritual intellectualism.This is not for you!! It has a boldness,effortless beauty and brings a waterous harmony to mind. It is one of my favorite sutra's.... Read it and allow it's beauty and wisdom to make it yours. The Original Translation of Hui-Neng's sutra - Rated I believe this was the original English translation (completed in the 1920's or 30's) of the Sutra of Hui-Neng, the 6th patriarch of Zen Buddhism. As such, it is a fine and sensitive effort and stands as a historical landmark in Zen's introduction to the West, but the translator was not a native English speaker, if I understand it correctly. To my taste at least, a better -- and more recent -- translation is that by Thomas Cleary. An outstanding text for meditation on the illusion of self. - Rated This book from the Zen tradition is the best meditation manual I have found for work on eradicating the illusion of self. I am happy to see it back in print. Modern science views the human body, mind, and persona as a dissipative system. See Capra, Fritjof. The Web of Life : A New Understanding of Living Systems. Anchor Books, 1997. The Diamond Sutra is the Buddha's eloquent instruction on this topic and this a simply wonderful translation.
