About this title

Synopsis

A compact summary like Probing the Sutras has been sorely needed for some time, as more and more Westerners have dipped into meditation without any understanding of its predominantly Buddhist scriptural underpinning.
This concise, well-informed introduction to the history and contents of eleven seminal Buddhist sutras also provides suggestions for reflection, meditation, and practical applications related to the key teachings of each scripture.
Readers of Probing the Sutras will be able to develop a framework for understanding Buddhist doctrines—and see the unique pearls of wisdom contained within each sutra.

About the Author

Guy Gibbon was a professor at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois, a longtime Zen priest, and the author of many books on history, archeology, and spirituality. He died in 2020, shortly after completing Probing the Sutras.
