From "Studies in the Lankavatara Sutra" by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, who describes the sutra as one of the most important texts of Mahayana Buddhism in which almost all of its principal tenets are presented. First published in 1930 by Routledge & Kegan Paul Limited.
It is said that we are fortunate to be born as a human, and even more fortunate to have encountered the Buddhadharma. Since this book was written, we English speakers are indeed fortunate to have many more translations of Buddhist texts available to us, including the wonderful Avatamsaka Sutra.
