Living And Dying In Zazen - Five Zen Masters Of Modern Japan (Paperback)

Under its unique abbot Kosho Uchiyama, the small Zen temple of Antaji in Kyoto becamne a magnet for serious non-Japanese practitioners, and played a crucial role in the transmission of Zen to America in particular. This book combines the life stories and teaching of five teachers - Sawaki Kodo, Yokoyama Sodo, Kato Kosho, Ikebe Motoko and Uchiyama - associated with Antaiji and the story of the author and other western students coming to grips with Zen, Japanese culture and themselves. The deification of Zen teachers by their followers has been a serious problem in American Zen; this book provides a healthy antidote, presenting four men and one woman who have lived and died in Zazen within the rich context of their personal lives and their culture, so that we can fully understand what makes a Zen master in Japan.
