Probing the Sutras: A Guide to Studying and Understanding Buddhism's Most Essential Texts - Paperback
by Guy Gibbon (Author), Roger Jackson (Foreword by), Tim Burkett (Preface by)
A compact summary like Probing the Sutras has been sorely needed for some time, as more and more Westerners have dipped into meditation without any understanding of its predominantly Buddhist scriptural underpinning. This concise, well-informed introduction to the history and contents of eleven seminal Buddhist sutras also provides suggestions for reflection, meditation, and practical applications related to the key teachings of each scripture. Readers of Probing the Sutras will be able to develop a framework for understanding Buddhist doctrines--and see the unique pearls of wisdom contained within each sutra.
