Chris,
I'll get 'hold of it. Thanks. I like his translations of several other
things, here, including writings (?) of Bodhidharma.
My fondness of the limpidly clear English translation by Wong Mou Lam in Dwight
Goddard's A BUDDHIST BIBLE, 1938, 1966, 1970, Pp. 497-558, was commented on
here in this forum previously. I've loved it since 1977, and have copied it by
Xerox and given away hand-stitched (bound) copies, and saved some.
I promise I'll grab the Red Pine from Amazon, next order. What the hay. I
like reading 3 or 4 translations side by side, but esp. of Tao Te Ching, and
other Taoist books, incl. the I-Ching, which are more opaque to me than
Buddhist writings. I spread them on the floor, or ground, and read. Lots of
ground in this desert. I'll try it with Hui Neng and see what old Red Pine
brings.
tnx,
--Joe
