1. A Buddhist Bible - Though this promises to give the whole material of thick printed book, it only contains two sutras, the Diamond sutra and The sutra of Wei Lang (hui neng), in old translations. A bit deceptive. It should say 'Extracts from The Buddhist Bible'. It's also difficult to see from the other Buddhist Bibles on offer in the store what they contain. Best wishes
