Core Texts of the Son Approach

Jeffrey 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.
