A Buddhist Bible (1932) by Dwight Goddard is a significant anthology of Buddhist texts, tailored for Western readers. Goddard, an American Zen practitioner and former missionary, compiled translations from various Buddhist traditions, including Theravada, Mahayana, and Zen. The book introduces teachings like the Dhammapada, Heart Sutra, and the Lankavatara Sutra, aiming to provide a comprehensive guide to Buddhism's philosophies and practices. It was particularly influential in the spread of Zen and Buddhist thought in America, resonating with readers interested in Eastern spirituality. A Buddhist Bible remains a pioneering text, bridging Eastern and Western understandings of Buddhism.

Dwight Goddard (1861–1939) was an American writer and pioneer in Zen Buddhism. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, he initially trained as a Christian missionary but became deeply interested in Eastern spirituality. Goddard authored and edited nine influential books on Buddhism, notably A Buddhist Bible (1932), which introduced key Buddhist texts to Western audiences. His work, which included translations from various traditions like Zen and Mahayana, helped popularize Buddhism in America. Goddard's anthology remains a foundational text for Western Buddhists, marking him as an early bridge between Eastern philosophy and American spirituality. He died at age 78.
