Transmitted in prose, the Sutra here is imbued with its original poetic resonance, a tribute to Red Pine's own commitment to the muse and dharma respectively... Here then, at last, is a contemporary translation of Buddhism's definitive Big Meditation and what an immensely readable treasure this book is!
