I'm about to pick up some Zen books on Kindle and thought I'd see if the fine folks on this sub had anything else to add.
I've seen Huangpo mentioned a lot so "The Zen Teachings of Huang Po: On The Transmission Of Mind" is on the list. "The Platform Sutra: The Zen Teaching of Hui-neng" seems like a no brainer as he's the "godfather" of Zen (it's also only $1.99 right now!) "Zen Teaching of Instantaneous Awakening: being the teaching of the Zen Master Hui Hai, known as the Great Pearl" seems obvious as he was the teacher for Huangbo and Linji . The "Hsin-Hsin Ming" by the Third Patriarch is also only $1.99 so I'm gonna grab that as well.
If anyone has anything else they think is "essential" let me know!
Recommendations so far:
- The Records of Linji - No Kindle version
- The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Joshu - No Kindle version
- The Mumonkon - I've read it before and have a copy, but not with me
- The Blue Cliff Record - The Kindle prices don't make sense. I'll get a physical copy at some point
- The Book of Serenity - The Kindle editions of Cleary's are cheap, but look like they might have garbage formatting. If the two below are OK, maybe I'll give them a shot.
- The Treasury of the Eye of True Teaching Volume 1 & 2 (The original shobogenzo) - I'm gonna pick both of these up, they're cheap right now. :) (Part 1 | Part 2, translated by Cleary)
- Master Ma's Ordinary Mind - Might grab it (Kindle edition link)
Edit: Done typing. :) Added recommendations.
