I have just finished working on a web site for The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch of Zen. The Platform Sutra is a lesser-known text to the West. Nonetheless it is a very important Zen literature. It is the philosophical groundwork which the whole Zen tradition is built upon, and so it��s a must-read for all of you who are interested in Zen.
This new web version that I have created is designed specifically for the modern audience. The original text is long and it��s difficult to read, and so I have extracted important passages to make it more accessible and readable. I have both the Chinese text and the English translation side by side, so that you can always go back to the original text. In addition, the site has a very good introduction to the Sutra and to Zen ideas in general. So it does not matter if you are new to Zen. This would be a good start. And if you are already familiar with the text, the web version is very good for meditative purposes. Personally, I have found it to be very helpful, and I hope you would enjoy it too. Along with the web site, I have created several new wallpapers for you to download.
