9 translations of Zen Buddhist sutras and sacred texts from the first 1,000 years of Zen—presented in a travel-friendly package for on-the-go reading or contemplation!

Dating from the middle of the second century B.C. to the middle of the ninth century A.D., Zen Roots includes:

• Selections from the Vimalakirti and Lankavatara sutras
• Bodhidharma’s Principles & Practice
• Sengcan’s Trusting the Mind
