Description
THE HEART SUTRA
Literally translates to "Heart of the Perfection of Transcendent Wisdom." The Heart Sutra is often cited as the best known and most popular of all Buddhist scriptures.
Translated by F. Max Muller, a German philologist and Orientalist, one of the founders of the western academic field of Indian studies and the discipline of comparative religion.
THE LANKAVATARA SUTRA
The most important doctrine issuing from the Lankavatara Sutra is that of the primacy of consciousness and the teaching of consciousness as the only reality. The sutra asserts that all the objects of the world, and the names and forms of experience, are merely manifestations of the mind. The Lankavatara Sutra describes the various tiers of consciousness in the individual, culminating in the "storehouse consciousness", which is the base of the individual's deepest awareness and his tie to the cosmic.
Translated by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, a Japanese author of books and essays on Buddhism, Zen and Shin that were instrumental in spreading interest in both Zen and Shin (and Far Eastern philosophy in general) to the West.
