Platform sutra

So we were supposed to start on the Platform Sutra this week, but yours truly left the materials at home... fantastic.  Probably best given the number of first-time attendees - both the biggest number of new folk on one day and I think a record number of bums on seats, too, with a total of 8 sitting.  Not that anyone's counting!

A couple of resources then, for your entertainment & delectation, before we get going on this sutra for next week:

• The Wikipedia entry on the Platform Sutra... like I tell my undergrad students, we all know that we all read wikipedia, we just never admit it officially...
• An article I wrote on Huineng / Daikan Eno back in August 2010.  Gives some background, a critical perspective and some links.
• One translation of the sutra itself (there are a few).

Let's hope I remember the text & my notes this week...
