The Way of Ch'an: Essential Texts of the Original Tradition

Bag om The Way of Ch'an: Essential Texts of the Original Tradition

"In this landmark anthology of some two dozen translations, celebrated translator David Hinton shows how Ch'an (Japanese: Zen)-too long considered a perplexing but mainstream school of Chinese Buddhism-was in truth a Buddhist-inflected form of Taoism, China's native system of spiritual philosophy. The texts in The Way of Ch'an build from seminal Taoism through the "Dark-Enigma Learning" literature and on to the most important pieces from all stages of the classical Ch'an tradition. Through this steadily deepening and transformative reading experience, readers will see the profound and intricate connections between native Chinese philosophy, Taoism, and Ch'an. Contemporary Zen students and practitioners will never see their tradition in the same way again"--
