 Edward Conze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conze devoted the rest of his life to Buddhism, and in particular to translating the Prajnaparamita or Perfection of Wisdom sutras, which are the fundamental scriptures of the Mahayana.
However, Conze's first significant contact with Buddhism was at this mid-point in his life, at the beginning of the Second World War, and it was through the writings of D.T. Suzuki.
It is especially significant that as a scholar of Buddhism he also tried to practise it, especially meditation.

 Amazon.co.uk: Books: Buddhist Wisdom: The "Diamond" and "Heart Sutra" (Vintage Spiritual Classics)
Conze, who until his death in 1979 was a powerful force for introducing Buddhism to the West, translated and wrote the introduction to this breakthrough edition in which extensive commentary is interleaved with the text for the easiest possible appreciation of the core ideas on the page.
With its appearance in the Vintage Spiritual Classics series, this definitive translation by the Western scholar of Buddhism Edward Conze is now available to a new generation of readers.
A landmark publication when it first appeared in 1958, Buddhist Wisdom offered Western readers a unique combination of both The Diamond Sutra - one of the cornerstone texts of Mahayana Buddhism - and The Heart Sutra, perhaps the most important of all Buddhist texts, in a single authoritative volume.

Edward Conze, who was until his death in 1979 a powerful force for introducing Buddhism and its sacred texts to the West, has provided these translated key texts with an extensive commentary for the easiest possible appreciation phrase by phrase.
The Heart Sutra, perhaps the most important of all Buddhist texts, sets out to formulate the very “heart” or essence of perfect wisdom and is studied with special reverence in Zen monastaries and the Tibetan Buddhist lamaseries.
For this new edition, Judith Simmer-Brown, a well-known American scholar of Buddhism, has contributed a lively, context-setting introduction.

The book by Conze is a collection of primary sources drawn primarily from different traditions of Indian Buddhism: Theravada (or Nikaya), Mahayana and Tantric.
Thich Nhat Hanh's short book will give us an inital "feel" for the Buddhist outlook on the world, and Gethin's book will provide a basic survey of the Buddhist tradition.
Lama Yeshe's book provides an introduction to Tantric Buddhism, which developed late in India and is not well covered by Gethin.

Although Conze comments on these sutras phrase by phrase, he acknowledges his commentary is not intended to convey "the spiritual experience which a Sutra describes.
It is paradoxical that the teaching of "form is emptiness, emptiness is form,"etc., is amenable to a logical approach, yet Conze is very effective at demonstrating that, at least for those of us who have not attained wisdom-that-goes-beyond (prajna), this is precisely the path to take.
Two of the most well-known of Buddha's Sutras, the "Diamond Sutra" and "the Heart Sutra", are explained clearly and succintly in this concise volumne.

 The Perfection of Wisdom
Conze’s pioneering accomplishment is still hailed as a model of meticulous scholarship, and he ranks among the greatest and most prolific modern translators of the Buddhist tradition.
Iconoclast, astrologist, communist sympathizer, and devoted practitioner, Edward Conze translated Buddhism for the West.
His wife Muriel called him “the old man who hates everyone.” His mother once described him as “nothing at all, just a bundle of contradictions.” Yet Dr. Edward Conze almost single-handedly made the Prajnaparamita (“Perfection of Wisdom&;) sutras—the fundamental scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism—available to the English-speaking world.

 Jesus and Buddha
, Edward Conze notes that Buddhism has nothing that corresponds to the Christian New Testament, which is an authoritative canon of Scriptures written a short time after the life of Jesus.
By accurately defining these differences we do justice to both religious leaders while communicating the truth in love to those who would place them on the same plane.
Let no one, therefore, take Buddhist records as hard history and then discount the New Testament for being too ancient to be historically credible.

Demonstrating throughout his heartfelt response to the fundamental wisdom of the Buddha, Edward Conze presents a readable introduction to the doctrines, methods, and literature that have developed within the many schools of Buddhism as a result of their different approaches to the goal.
Although one may originally be attracted by its remoteness, one can appreciate the real value of Buddhism only when one judges it by the results it produces in one’s own life from day to day.
This timely new edition of a Buddhist classic reminds us that true happiness is not to be found in material comfort and earthly satisfaction but in the pursuit of a higher ideal.

 Vijnanavada (Yogachara) Buddhism
The Sandhinirmochana and Lankavatara sutras were especially influential in the formulation of the doctrines of the Yogachara school, founded by two brothers, Asanga and Vasubandu (the latter, because of his great learning, was given the singular honour of being called "the second Buddha"), natives of North-West India, in the 4th or 5th century.
In the next few centuries this was followed by the very important Lankavatara sutra in the early 4th century, and the Abhisamayalankara (a Prajnaparamita commentary) and Avatamsaka sutras later in the century [Edward Conze, Buddhism, its Essence and Development, p.164].
The development of the Vijnanavada began around 150 C.E. with the Sandhinirmochana Sutra.

Then, in 1937, as he began to comtemplate suicide, Conze came across Essays in Zen Buddhism, by D. Suzuki, which reinvigorated his interest in Buddhism and "raised me from a living death."
