THE LANKAVATARA SUTRA: TRANSLATION AND COMMENTARY
Book ID/图书代码： 07633011B47201
English Summary/英文概要： Zen’s first patriarch, Bodhidharma, gave a copy of this text 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, THE LANKAVATARA SUTRA is the only Zen sutra ever spoken by the Buddha. Although it covers all the major teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, it contains but two teachings: that everything we perceive as being real is nothing but the perceptions of our own mind and that the knowledge of this is something that must be realized and experienced for oneself and cannot be expressed in words. In the words of Chinese Zen masters, these two teachings became known as “have a cup of tea” and “taste the tea.”
This is the first translation into English of the original text used by Bodhidharma, which was the Chinese translation made by Gunabhadra in 443 CE and upon which all Chinese Zen masters have relied ever since. In addition to presenting one of the most difficult of all Buddhist texts in clear English, Red Pine has also added summaries, explanations, and notes, including relevant Sanskrit terms on the basis of which the Chinese translation was made.
This promises to become an essential text for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding or knowledge of Zen.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 禪宗的第一元老，菩提達摩，給他的繼任者，慧空，這本佛經典注，並告訴他這本佛經典注裡有他所需要知道的一切。《楞伽經》 從歷代的師傅傳至現今的學者，是唯一由佛陀口述的佛經典注。雖然它涵蓋了所有的大乘佛教的主要教義，其中包含了兩個學說即：我們看到的所謂真的一切只不過是自己頭腦裡所認知的世界，而這些來自我們所有的學識和自身的經驗歷程卻無法用言語來表達（亦幻亦空）。用中國禪師的話來詮釋，這兩種學說則被稱為 “一杯茶”和“品茗”。
這是第一次援引菩提達摩所述的，翻譯成英文的原文佛經典注，這些佛經典注曾由求那跋陀羅在西元443年翻譯成中文並由中國禪宗大師一直沿用至今。除了用通俗英語來詮釋佛經典籍中最困難的部分，雷德•派恩 還增加了包括已翻譯成中文的相關梵文摘要，注釋，和譯文。
這是一本絕對適合任何一個正在尋求更深一步理解和學習佛經典注的基礎譯文(sandy)
