Mindy McAdams (macloo) | 9 comments These are all the same book:

There are multiple errors in each record. The book has two editors, Morten Schlutter (umlaut on the u) and Stephen F. Teiser. One record that says Hui-Neng is an author is incorrect (Hui-Neng was the author of the sutra that this book is ABOUT). I own the paperback and I'm looking at it as I write this.

One record even has a title word spelled wrong. "Sutra" is correct.

There's only one edition, published in 2012. The book cover should be the same for all of them.

Here is the Amazon page:

You can see there's a hardcover, paperback and e-book.

I tried to fix this myself but was not able to do it. I wrote a review on this record:
