In Unlocking the Zen Koan (originally published as No Boundary)
Thomas Cleary translates directly from the Chinese and interprets
Zen Master Wumen's text and commentaries in verse and prose on the
inner meaning of the koans. Cleary then gives us other great
Chinese Zen masters' comments in prose or verse on the same koan.
Cleary's probing, analytic commentaries wrestle with meaning and
shading, explaining principles and practices. Five different steps
to follow in reading the koan begin with its use as a single abrupt
perception, and lead progressively to more intellectual readings,
illustrating the fixations which stand in the way of a true Zen
understanding.
The six essays in this volume all deal with the relationship of mystical experience to ordinary life. The title essay on "cosmic consciousness" includes the author's account of his own ventures into this inward realm. "Instinct, Intelligence, and Anxiety" is a study of the paradoxes of self-consciousness; "Spiritually and Sensuality," a lively discussion of the false opposition of spirit and matter; and "The New Alchemy," a balanced account of states of consciousness akin to spiritual experience induced by the aid of lysergic acid. The collection also includes the text of Watts' celebrated pamphlet, "Beat Zen, Square Zen, and Zen."
