About This Item
Dharma Drum Publications, 1997. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Near Fine. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, wear to jacket edges. Complete Enlightenment is the first authoritative translation and commentary on The Sutra of Complete Enlightenment, a central text that shaped the development of East Asian Buddhism and Ch'an (Chinese Zen). The text is set in the form of a transcription of discussions between the Buddha and the twelve enlightened beings(bodhisattvas), who question him on all aspects of spiritual practice. This new translation preserves all the liveliness and nuance of the text in the original Chinese. The sutra's ancient wisdom is brought to life by the commentaries of Master Sheng-yen, one of the most revered living Buddhist masters in the Ch'an lineage. This is truly a manual for the spiritual journey toward complete enlightenment, providing the key to the deep, poetic, and practical meanings of the scripture. 330 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Religion & Theology; ISBN/EAN: 9780960985470. Inventory No: dscf11609. . 9780960985470
