Koans are an indispensable tool on the path to enlightenment. They
reveal Truth through presenting the reader with a paradox that can
only be solved by changing one's attitudes. The venerable Koans of
the past, those that have been handed down through the generations
are written in the language of the past. The reader needs to be
able to fully enter into that archaic language if they are to
benefit. This book re-represents the Koans in modern language,
accessible to all. It will not please the traditionalists, but it
will make the wisdom contained therein accessible to a whole new
generation of seeker. Each koan encapsulates a profound truth for
reflection. Zen counsels the lessening of the ego, not the
strengthening of it as consumer culture would urge. Instead of
making a name for ourselves in society, we should listen to the
voice of pines and cedars when no wind stirs, in other words become
no-thing, entering instead the field of pure being that is behind
the phenomenal world.
