I'm looking forward to it. I read it last year, but not with commentary. I have "Three Zen Sutras" by Red Pine, which includes the Platform Sutra.

I'll be following this. I can't get hold of a copy of the Platform Sutra book at the moment, no way of paying for it, but after reading Shodo Harada's commentaries several times over the years it's long been of interest.

Hi there, I'm curious where I can find Shodo Harada's commentaries on the platform sutra.

Thank you for that, Myo-jin. I had not heard of that before.

Also, if you cannot afford the text at the moment feel free to join with the PDF from Terebess, or else I am happy to buy you a copy.

Thanks Kokuu, although I won’t impose on you like that but the offer is appreciated.. I’ll look up the version on Terabess.

Once the banks over here trust me with a credit card I’ll be able to splurge all my money on books, so they are probably doing me a favour to be honest.

looking forward to digging into the Platform Sutra in any case.

I have a copy of Shodos commentary, I’m finding it very accessible and informative.
Helps me in getting a handle on the shape of the sutra as a whole before beginning our studies. ( My Red Pine arrived today, much excitement!)

Where did the introduction thread go? I read and replied on Monday, checked back today and it’s gone. Lost in the timeless time zone?

It’s not just me then? The thread seems to have vanished.
