MOTHER OF THE BUDDHAS: Meditation on the Prajnaparamita Sutra
by Lex Hixon
Unlike scholarly translations, this "contemplative expansion" of forty passages from the Prajnaparamita Sutra in 8,000 Lines - the basic scripture of all schools of Mahayana Buddhism - yields a text of devotional beauty that is poetic and uplifting. Through dramatic conversations between the Buddha and his disciples Shariputra, Subhuti, and Ananda, the Bodhisattva path to enlightenment is revealed. This spiritually inspiring book features a foreword by renowned American Buddhist scholar Dr. Robert A. F. Thurman on the historical background of the radical Mahayana teachings on the nature of Reality.

ANALYSIS OF THE ABHISAMAYALAMKARA
by E. Obermiller
The Abhisamayalamkara is the text used in the Tibetan monastic curriculum to teach the path to Buddhahood.
The Indian teacher Asanga requested the future Buddha Maitreya to systematize the teachings on the path from the large and diffused Prajna-paramita Sutras, and this book is the result. It is a concise outline work, so it is studied in Tibet with the help of commentaries and study manuals.

BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES, A rich new selection of writings that reveal the core teachings of the Buddhist tradition
by Donald Lopez
While Buddhism has no central text comparable to the Bible or Koran, there is a powerful body of scripture from across Asia that encompasses the dharma, or the teachings of the Buddha. In this rich anthology, eminent scholar Donald S. Lopez, Jr., brings together works from a broad historical and geographical range, and from such languages as Pali, Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese. There are tales of the Buddha's past lives, a discussion of qualities and qualifications for a monk, and an exploration of the many meanings of enlightenment. Together they provide a vivid picture of the Buddha and of the vast and profound nature of the Buddhist tradition.
This new edition contains many texts presented in English for the first time as well as new translations of some well-known works. Includes an informative introduction, a preface to each selection, suggestions for further reading, and a glossary.

DIAMOND SUTRA, The Perfection of Wisdom
by Red Pine
Zen Buddhism is often said to be a practice of "mind-to-mind transmission" without reliance on texts --in fact, some great teachers forbid their students to read or write. But Buddhism has also inspired some of the greatest philosophical writings of any religion, and two such works lie at the center of Zen: The Heart Sutra, which monks recite all over the world, and The Diamond Sutra, said to contain answers to all questions of delusion and dualism.
