Buddhist teachings across traditions

This anthology brings together Buddhist writings from Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese sources, spanning early sayings attributed to the Buddha, later Indian scriptures, Tibetan verses, and Zen songs about meditation. Alongside these selections, it includes practical instruction on sitting meditation, developing calm awareness, and living with compassion. The range gives the book both a textual and a practice-oriented dimension: readers encounter teachings from several Buddhist traditions as well as guidance for incorporating meditation and compassion into daily life. Compiled by Jack Kornfield, the collection presents Buddhism through writings and practices rather than through a single continuous narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking an introduction to writings from several Buddhist traditions.
  • People interested in meditation instruction alongside Buddhist texts.
  • Readers exploring Buddhist teachings across spiritual traditions.

Book overview

This treasury of essential Buddhist writings draws from the most popular Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Japanese sources. Among the selections are some of the earliest recorded sayings of the Buddha on the practice of freedom, passages from later Indian scriptures on the perfection of wisdom, verses from Tibetan masters on the enlightened mind, and songs in praise of meditation by Zen teachers. The book also includes traditional instruction on how to practice sitting meditation, cultivate calm awareness, and live with compassion. Jack Kornfield, one of the most respected American Buddhist teachers, has compiled these teachings to impart the essence and inspiration of Buddhism to readers of all spiritual traditions.
