"These original documents are crucial for understanding East Asian Buddhist development. Professor Broughton's analysis of the material provides a new and refreshing look at the tradition which was focused on meditation and the ancient lineage of Bodhidharma. . . . We can be grateful that the translations are accompanied by a detailed study that gives the reader access to the social and cultural events of the time."—Lewis Lancaster, University of California, Berkeley
Core Texts of the Sŏn Approach
Jeffrey L. Broughton and Elise Yoko Watanabe here offer a study and partial translation of Core Texts of the Son Approach (Sonmun ch'waryo), a Korean anthology of key texts foundational to Korean Son Buddhism, which emphasizes attaining Buddhahood through the enlightenment of one's own mind. Korean Son is much less well-known in the West than the Japanese Zen tradition; this volume acts as a comprehensive overview of the texts of the Korean branch of this influential school of East Asian Buddhism.

The book provides a complete translation of a groundbreaking Tibetan treatise on contemplation, the Samten Migdron by Nubchen Sangye Yeshe (10th century). This is one of the principal sources for our understanding of the various currents of meditation transmitted to Tibet during the early spread of Buddhism to that country. It offers a detailed window into the ways in which one of the most learned masters of the early Tibetan Buddhist tradition made sense of the different forms of meditation practiced in his day.
