A Buddhist Bible has introduced many beginning students to Zen Buddhism, including the Beat Generation's most famous storyteller, Jack Kerouac. Since Kerouac's days on the road, Dwight Goddard's broadly inclusive selection of Mahayana, Pali, and Tibetan texts has offered generations of American readers an accessible introduction to the practice of Zen that has flowered in this country. This anthology is one of the building blocks of Buddhist practice in the West. In this edition, a new foreword by the distinguished Buddhist teacher and writer Robert Aitken reintroduces Goddard's classic, highlights the book's continuing contributions to Zen Buddhism in America, and offers new revelations about Dwight Goddard, the enigmatic compiler of A Buddhist Bible.Dwight Goddard is the author of 'A Buddhist Bible', published 1994 under ISBN 9780807059111 and ISBN 0807059110.
