Summary

This book, aimed at the modern reader, discusses three classic Chinese Zen texts from three different traditions and eras: The delightful poetic masterpiece Enjoying the Way from the 8th cent. Northern Zen tradition. The profound poems -- and stunning illus. -- of Ten Oxherding Pictures from the 12th cent. Rinzai tradition. The hard-hitting Exhortations for Those Who Don¿t Arouse the Doubt from the early 17th cent. Soto tradition. Much of this material has never been translated into English before, with commentary revealing the depth and diversity of Zen Buddhism as a living tradition. Here is the true face of Zen practice as it strips away facile generalizations and false assumptions, leading the reader to a genuine encounter with the heart of the matter.
