Bodhidharma’s Zen Teaching: Paperback

This bilingual edition features the teachings of Bodhidharma, the Indian Buddhist monk credited with bringing Zen to China. The book explores the practical applications of Zen in everyday life, rather than solely focusing on enlightenment. It includes four complete teachings, including the “Outline of Practice,” which outlines the habits that lead to enlightenment, the “Bloodstream Sermon,” which encourages students to seek the Buddha within themselves, and the “Wake-up Sermon,” which defends the idea that beholding the mind is the most effective method for reaching enlightenment. The book also includes the original Chinese text alongside the English translation. It is a 144-page paperback with dimensions of 20.3 x 25.4 x 4.7 cm and is published by Macmillan.
