Goddard (1861-1939) was a Christian missionary to China when he first came in contact with Buddhism. In 1928, he spent a year living at a Zen monastery in Japan. Upon his return to the United States, Goddard sought to interpret Buddhist teachings for the Western world, initially in the pages of his magazine Zen and through translations of the Tao Te Ching and the Lankavatara Sutra. These efforts culminated in the publication of A Buddhist Bible (1932), which would have a profound influence on Jack Kerouac and other writers and artists associated with the Beat movement.Small octavo: 116 p.
