The Indian Mahayana sutras can be divided, according to the chronology of their emergence, into three main groups: early, middle, and late. The two most influential works, the Prajnaparamita Sutra and the Avatamsaka Sutra, belong to the early group, although the Avatamsaka Sutra and its related texts are thought to have appeared somewhat later than the Prajnaparamita Sutra. The Prajnaparamita texts teach the supreme meaning of emptiness. The Avatamsaka, however, using this understanding of emptiness as a foundation, establishes the concept of the "miraculous existence of immaculate, limitless worlds." Although the text of the Avatamsaka is vast and complex, it has one dominant theme consistently running through it-a characteristic that may indicate that it is not a collection of shorter sutras. From the beginning of Buddhism up to this appearance of the Avatamsaka Sutra, there was a shift in emphasis from a karmically driven causally originated human existence to a view of the world that is causally originated from Pure Mind. Thus it is said in the Avatamsaka that "everything in the Triple Realm is due to Mind" and "the twelve links of conditioned origination are all dependent on the One Mind.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition dark blue linen boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Acknowledgments; Introduction by Madame Cheng; Introduction by Benjamin Pang-jeng Lo; Biography of Man-Jan; Preliminary Page entitled: A Page of Professor Cheng's Calligraphy from his Original Manuscript and Glossary. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "In this erudite yet practical book Professor Cheng shares the secrets of his lineage and takes us to the heart of T'ai Chin Ch'uan, presenting it as a martial art, a medicine, and a means of exercise and self-development. With examples from anatomy and physics, he demonstrates precisely how the postures and moves work, internally as energetic principles, and externally on opponents. He makes plain the spheres, trialgles, and centripetal and centrifugal forces within physical exchanges such and push-hands. Contrasting Western and Chinese techniques of healing, he also explores the relationships of organs to one another in pathology and the necessary dynamics of treatment. Professor Cheng always emphasizes that disease (like an attack from an oppinent) is an opportunity for training. The practitionr of T'ai Chi Ch'uan may serve as his (or her) own doctor and, likewise, as the physician (or trainer) of an attacker. The martial arts are not a special case of unusual power; they are simply an aspect of adapting natural and cosmic law to circumstance. At this point philosophy itself merges with matter, physics becomes meditation, and the gravitational forces of the universe are our ally. This special text includes: Thirteen essays on his insights into t'ai chi ch'uan; Oral secrets from his teacher, Yang Cheng'fu; Questions and answers giving his commentary on the classics; Professor Cheng's application and functions of each of the thirty-seven postures of the short form with the original set of illustrative photographs of him as a young man; Description and mechanics of push-hands, San Shou, and Ta Lu; Prefaces by both Madame Cheng and Benjamin Pang-Jeng Lo." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
