Three volume series translating important Buddhist works and Ch'an guidance. Charles Luk (also known as Lu K'uan Yu) (1898-1978), was a student of the great Ch'an master Xu Yun (1840-1959). Xu Yun inherited all five schools of Ch'an and instructed Luk to translate important Chinese Buddhist Ch'an texts into English so that Western Dharma students might learn and benefit from it. Luk has been praised for his ability to masterfully translate often obscure Chinese Buddhist terms to exact English equivalents.
