The Buddhist Bible was first published in Vermont in 1932 by DWIGHT
GODDARD (1861-1939), a pioneer in the American Zen Buddhist movement.
It contains edited versions of foundational Buddhist texts designed
to provide spiritual seekers with the heart of the Zen message.
Writing at a time when Buddhism was greatly misunderstood in the
West, Goddard hoped to bring a new and deep understanding to light.
His mission was not only to explain Buddhism to his fellow Americans
but to show how the ancient religion could be made relevant to modern
problems. The Buddhist Bible made a huge impact when it was published
and is known to have influenced the views of iconic Beat author Jack
Kerouac.
