The Platform Stra contains a wide range of important Chan/Zen Buddhist teachings. Purported to contain the autobiography and sermons of Huineng (638713), the legendary Sixth Patriarch of Chan, the stra has been popular among monastics and the educated elite for centuries. The first study of its kind in English, the essays in this volume introduce the history and ideas of the stra to a general audience and interprets its practices. Leading specialists on Buddhism discuss the texts historical background and its vaunted legacy in Chinese culture. Incorporating recent scholarship and theory, chapters include an overview of Chinese Buddhism, the crucial role of the Platform Stra in the Chan tradition, and the dynamics of Huinengs biography.
