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.
