3.0 out of 5 stars
Rather tedious translation,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lankavatara Sutra: A Mahayana Text (Buddhist Tradition S.) (Vol 40) (Hardcover)
I find the translation rather tedious, unnecessarily difficult to read, and sentence structures awkward at times. It may have to do with being written in 1932 and the translator trying to be faithful to the original text. But there must be a better way, perhaps a modern way, to make it more readable and accessible. The content itself is not that difficult to grasp for those who have read Pali cannon and studied phenomenology, etc. But it does take time to parse through sentences in an effort to "retranslate".
