Buddhist Book Buying Day

R and I went out to Saul’s in Berkeley today for lunch. (For those that are in the area, Saul’s is a wonderful New York deli and restaurant which serves some of the best deli food in the area.)
Following food, I made a side trip into Black Oak Books, a few doors down, and made the mistake of going into the Buddhist portion of the used section in the back. I wond up walking out about 30 minutes later with a few hardcover books:
- The Yogacara Idealism by Ashok Kumar Chatterjee
- Entry into the Inconceivable: An Introduction to Hua-Yen Buddhism by Thomas Cleary
- The Buddhist Teachings of Totality: The Philosophy of Hwa Yen Buddhism by Garma C.C. Chang
- Five Mountains: The Rinzai Zen Monastic Institution in Medieval Japan by Martin Collcutt
- Zen Flesh, Zen Bones by Paul Reps
Since I’ve been getting rid of a lot of books lately, it goes against my grain to buy many more but all of these seemed too good to past up when I saw them. We’ll see what I get the time to work through all of them.
