The Sutra of Forty-two Chapters consists of a brief prologue and 42 short chapters (mostly under 100 Chinese characters), composed largely of quotations from the Buddha. Most chapters begin "The Buddha said..." but several provide the context of a situation or a question asked of the Buddha. The scripture itself is not considered a formal sutra, and early scriptures refer to the work as "Forty-two Sections from Buddhist Scriptures" or "The Forty-two Sections of Emperor Xiao Ming." Because of its association with the entrance of Buddhism to China, it is accorded a very significant status in East Asia.

For the third time, the dharma talks of Zen Master Thich Phuoc Tinh are available in English. These talks focus on the Forty-two Chapters Sutra, the first Buddhist text translated into Chinese around the fourth century that form the basis for the Ch'an and Zen schools of Buddhism in Southeast Asia. ""The Forty-two Chapters sounds the ancient drum of dharma wisdom, the embodied practice of mindfulness in daily life....It is full of gems shining light on the benefits for our moment in time whether we identify as Buddhist or not. It is a genuine invitation to wake up and cultivate the inner stability and freedom needed now more than ever in our great transition towards a new understanding of our deep humanity."" --Larry Ward, Ph.D, Director, The Lotus Institute

Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters covers the essence of the Buddhist teachings. For beginning spiritual practitioners, this sutra is truly the best entry point to the profound Buddha-Dharma. The first chapter of the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters clearly illustrates the sequence we should follow in our spiritual practice. The second and third chapters are mainly written for those who are ordained as monastics, while the fourth chapter and the chapters thereafter are guidelines for spiritual practice for people in general. In simple and plain words, the Buddha used vivid metaphors to patiently and repeatedly teach practitioners at different levels of cultivation. He wanted to show people how to reflect on themselves and how to practice the renunciation of evil and cultivation of goodness to bring out their life’s full potential. He laid out a bright path that leads directly toward a state of purity. With these teachings, people can follow the right path and reach a pure state of peace and joy. Master Cheng Yen’s detailed explanations and apt interpretations have further closed the gap between this sutra and people living in our current time. We hope that those who read this sutra can inspire and encourage each other to walk the path. In doing so, they can share Dharma-joy and obtain the benefits of the Dharma together.
