The Essence of Zen by Bikshu Sangharakshita
Drawing on his knowledge and long practice of Buddhism, the author reflects on four lines representing fundamental principles of the Zen or Ch'an school of Buddhism: "A special transmission outside the scriptures", "No dependence on words and letters", "Direct pointing to the mind", and "Seeing into one's own nature and realizing Buddhahood". He sets out to communicate the essence of each, and to indicate how its meaning can be applied to Western conditions.
A respected translator and author of over fifty books, Sangharakshita began studying BUddhism at the age of 16. After 20 years studying in India he returned to England and set up the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order which has over 65 centres worldwide, including the USA.
