| This online book first published on traditional paper in 1967 has through
my efforts made it way on to the intenet. I am sorry to say that I have
not transcribed the whole book. This is because I have come across some
problems in doing what I want to do. I transcribed the book originally
by scanning the book and then using OCR software to change the image to
text; anyone who has done that before can tell you that it is somewhat
less than perfect. There are a lot of mistakes that still must be corrected
by me. When I started I wanted to make a CD Rom book, and I still do. When
I got half way through the third chapter I found out that I did not need
to change the book to a .txt file but could keep the book as an image files,
and with software that lets you flip through the images just like you do
with a book made the idea of a CD book seem more like a book than I had
ever dreamed possible.
But I had already done a good part of the book into a text file, so I came up with the idea to publish it on the internet and if the readers liked the first three chapters, they could notify me by email and I could just send them the whole book on CD Rom at my own expense. If your are interested in the paper version you could go to Buddhist Yogi C. M. Chen's Homepage at: http://tor-pw1.netcom.ca/~sslam/index.html This book was first given to me free of charge from one of my students who found out that I was studying Buddhism. It was given to me in two great big books that had more than one book published together, all by Yogi C.M. Chen, this being the first in the first volume. After reading the first couple of pages I found out that all Yogi C.M. Chen's books were published for free distribution, my first thought was that they were so bad that no one would pay for them. After I read a few more pages it a cured to me that this was no normal book and by the time I had read the first book in the volume (BUDDHIST MEDITATION Systematic and Practical) I had wished to help publish it and all the other books and booklets for the benefit of the masses. |
