THE SUTRA OF THE FORTY-TWO SECTIONS
Was translated by two ordained Yuezhi monks, Kasyapa-Matanga and Dharmaraksha, in 67 CE. Because of its early date, it is regarded as "the First Sutra" or first formula, and is accorded a very significant status.
Translated by Samuel Beal, an Oriental scholar, and the first Englishman to translate direct from the Chinese the early records of Buddhism.

SUTRA OF THE SIXTH PATRIARCH
The key topics of the discourse are sudden enlightenment, the direct perception of one's true nature, and the unity in essence of sila, dhyana and prajna.
Translated by Dwight Goddard, who was a pioneer in the American Zen Buddhist movement.
