Recently I was contacted by Lily Ling 林劉旭強 who introduced her mother Yang Xiuhe's 楊秀鶴 (1910-2011) Buddhist Bible 佛陀語錄:佛教聖經 to me and wanted to translate it into English. This is basically a collection of excerpts from the Chinese Buddhist canon and is arranged topically. Ms. Yang is a remarkable woman and was praised for former president Ma Yingjiu 馬英九 and Ven Xingyun 星雲. It is a great effort and should be recognized. It shows that modern people are reading the Buddhist canon seriously.
