187575492Tibet: N.p. ca. 1875. This Sutra comprises Volume 33 of the Narthang Kangyur. The dimensions including both wooden covers are 24 1/4 inches long; 6 3/8 inches wide; 4 1/2 inches high. This exemplar contains 448 leaves made of Tibetan rice paper and printed using carved wooden blocks on both recto an verso for a total of 896 pp. The leaves and the holder are in very good condition. We know that the Narthang Kangyur printing blocks were carved in the Narthang Monastery around 1730-1732. The legibility of this copy argues for a date of about 1875 but it could be as late as 1920. The upper wooden board has a nice Sanskrit inscription in Landza / Ranjana script. With the original saffron carrying cloth. A rare offering.The text is a sutra named The Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines. Copies of this text are often used for devotional purposes which may be why it has not been kept with the other volumes. This particular sutra was initially translated from Sanskrit into Tibetan in the 8th century then the translation was revised in the 11th. The original composition of the Sutras is unknown. the traditional answer to this is that these sutras were spoken by the Buddha then concealed by the Nagas for centuries before being revealed by Nagarjuna in the 3-4th century. While they are usually thought of as later compositions the sutras of the Perfection of Wisdom and especially this text are interestingly among the oldest physical Buddhist manuscripts preserved. The sutra deals with a number of topics but is primarily concerned with the conduct of a bodhisattva the realiation and attainment of the Perfection of Wisdom as one of the Six Perfections the realization of thusness tath t the attainment of irreversibility on the path to buddhahood avaivartika non-conceptualisation and abandonment of views as well as the worldly and spiritual benefit of worshipping the s tra.The s tra is among the most well-established in the Mahayana tradition and "was the first philosophical text to be translated from the Mahayana literature into Chinese." It was translated seven times into Chinese9 five times into Tibetan and eight times into Mongolan. The first Tibetan edition was in the eighth century. It remains one of the most relevant of all sutras. Even the dalai Lama acknowledges it preiminence - "“Now Khyongla Rato Rinpoche and I are both students of the late Kyabje Ling Rinpoche. He is the senior student but I the younger one have the name Dalai Lama. I have a close bond with him and with Richard Gere who is a friend of mine and a friend of Tibet. They asked me to give this teaching. For many years Rinpoche has requested me to give the oral transmission of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra in 8000 lines. As we drove in from the airport yesterday he mentioned it again and I thought “Let’s start now.†The book is about 500 pages long so looking at it I feel somewhat daunted but I won’t try to read it all now I’ll just begin today.â€He explained that the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras form a large part of the Buddhist scriptures. Of those sections translated into Tibetan the longest is in 100000 lines and consists of 12 volumes the version in 25000 lines is in 3 volumes this edition in 8000 lines is only one volume while the shortest sutra simply consists of the syllable ‘A’.

18172238Paris: Chez Brunot-Labbe 1817. First edition. contemporary morocco over marbled boards. Very Good. EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST WESTERN BOOK ON BUDDHISM. "Although the Western encounter with Asia's largest religion may be the vastest and most consequential spiritual encounter in human history its protagonists and historical development are still barely known. Thus it comes as no surprise that even specialists have hitherto failed to appreciate the earliest Western book about Buddhism: Michel-Jean-François Ozeray's Recherches sur Buddou ou Bouddou instituteur religieux de l'Asie orientale Paris 1817.<br /> <br /> ". Ozeray's book represents a landmark in the history of the Western discovery of Buddhism. Published three years after the establishment of Europe's first academic chairs for indology and sinology and just before the organized academic study of Buddhist texts began Ozeray's reliance on images and reports by embassies and European residents in Asian countries rather than missionary literature marks a watershed as does the author's firm advocacy of a single historical founder his unwillingness to engage in etymological and mythological flights of fancy and his insistence on Buddhism's status as the largest of all religions of the Orient or even of the entire world. Though the book did not reach a large pan-European readership it was read by intellectuals interested in Buddhism such as the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer Europe's first professor of Sinology Abel-Rémusat and the linguist Julius Klaproth. Klaproth and Abel-Rémusat were around the time of publication expressing increasing interest in Buddhism and its history. Both were involved in the birth of France's earliest Orientalist journal the Journal Asiatique which from the early 1820s became one of Europe's most important sources of information about Buddhism. Ozeray's book thus stands near the end of the mythological speculation period and near the beginning of organized research on Asia's greatest religion" Urs App The First Western Book on Buddhism and Buddha. <br /> <br /> Paris: Chez Brunot-Labbe 1817. Octavo contemporary half-morocco marbled boards and endpapers. Complete with half-title. Some scuffing to binding small closed tear to half-title. Text in outstanding condition with large margins.

198686597For The Author 1986. First Thus. Quarto. 28.5cm. Comb-bound with red card covers. 147pp. printed rectos only. Clean and strong very little wear; internally clean and fresh with the blindstamp of Nathaniel Tarn to the contents page. A very good bright copy.<br /> <br /> Essentially a xeroxed text examining a very specific part of the observances and discipline of Dzogzen yoga the school that Namkhai Norbu dedicated his teaching life to. Chogyal Namkhai Norbu was one of the last great Tibetan born masters of Yoga born prior to the Chinese annexation of Tibet living much of his life in exile and rising to the position of Professor of Eastern and Tibetan Languages at Naples Eastern University and founder of the Shang Shung Institute School of Tibetan Medicine in Conway Massachussetts itself part of a larger complex for Buddhist studies. This specific work seems difficult to place in Norbu's body of work but fits into the period when he was working on his "Longsal" teachings and it may feature in that larger body of work. This work is not locatable in this form in US instituions/OCLC. For The Author unknown
196174199New York: The First Zen Institute of America Inc 1961. Wraps. Very good. The First Zen Institute of America was founded in 1930 by the Zen master Sokei-an to bring the tradition and practice to the West. Sokei-an heir to the Ryomokyo-kai traditions as taught by Soyen Shaku and his disciple Sokatsu Shaku was the first Zen master to settle permanently in the United States. Following his death in 1945 shortly after his release from a Japanese internment camp Zen Notes was established to keep his insights and perspectives alive.<br/> <br/> For most of its first four decades Zen Notes was edited by Mary Farkas who presided over the institutes during its formative years. In addition to publishing transcripts of Sokei-an's lectures she also wrote about visiting Japanese Zen masters and through excerpts from Ruth Fuller's Letter from Kyoto she kept readers informed about Zen practice in Japan and the growth of Zen in America.<br/> <br/> This collection includes: Vol. I No. 1-12; Vol. II No. 2-8 10-12; Vol. III No. 2-12; Vol. IV No. 1-4 6-12; Vol. VI No. 7; Vol. VII No. 4-6 8-12; and Vol. VIII No. 1-7.<br/> <br/> Early issues are exceedingly uncommon.

19217948London / Kyoto: Luzac & Co./ Eastern Buddhist Society 1921. First separate edition. 22x15cm 1 43pp. Red sheep backed cloth boards spine lettered in black. Samuel Weiser ticket at front Luzac & Co ticket at rear original plain wrappers bound in. Some pencil annotations to front blank wrapper page block somewhat toned and with a few edge wrinkles. Very good. <br /> <br /> First separate printing of one of D.T. Suzuki's 1870-1966 influential essays on the training of a Zen Buddhist monk. Suzuki helped spread interest in Eastern philosophy and specifically Zen and Shin Buddhism to the West in the 20th century. This essay first appeared in his Eastern Buddhist journal which was launched after he and his wife founded the Eastern Buddhist Society in 1921 at Otani University and has subsequently been anthologized in many collections on Zen. Interestingly we find mention of this separate printing in catalogs from Luzac & Co the prominent London-based bookseller and publisher of books on the East as early as 1921.<br /> <br /> <br /> In any event it is a scarce publication with OCLC citing holdings only at Columbia Northwestern and the University of Oregon.<br /> <br /> From the library of Blanche DeVries and Pierre Bernard.
