One of the pivotal Mahayana sutras, especially relevant to Zen and mind-only schools of Buddhism. Purportedly, Bodhidharma brought the "Lanka" to China along with his teaching on zazen.

Additional benefit is the forward by John Daido Loori Roshi that clarifies the relationship and importance of this text to modern Zen practice. 152 pp., hc.
