Customer Reviews
Truly a Zen Buddhist classic
A fifth-century Buddhist Indian mystic, Bodhidharma proves to be one of Buddhism's most enigmatic masters. Acknowledged as the father of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma's teachings represent the every essence of Zen itself. Deep and pithy, he sermons guide the reader to the very summit of Buddha mind, urging the reader to look within beyond the veil of appearance. Not an ordinary book that will be read only once then tucked away on a bookshelf, Red Pine's translation of Bodhidharma's teachings will be a constant companion for many years. I highly recommend this book for both the beginner and the seasoned practitioner of Zen.
Refreshingly straight forward!
One may find many insights from this book! I've read and heard many words, but none more straight forward than this. I am just happy to know dialogues of this magnitude took place long ago. I think you will fall in love with it.
Great things come in small packages
I would rate this book at the top along side the teachings of Huang-Po. These teachings are like the onramp to the Zen Expressway. A must read.
