Jeffrey L. Broughton offers an annotated translation of the Whip
for Spurring Students Onward Through the Chan Barrier Checkpoints,
which he abbreviates to Chan Whip. This anthology is a classic of
Chan (Zen) Buddhism that has served as a Chan handbook in both
China and Japan since its publication in 1600. It is a compendium
of extracts, over eighty percent of which are drawn from an
enormous Chan corpus dating from the late 800s to about 1600-a
survey that covers most of the history of Chan literature. The rest
of the text consists of complementary extracts from Buddhist sutras
and treatises. The extracts, many of which are accompanied by Chan
master Dahui Zhuhong's commentary, deliberately eschew abstract
discussions of theory in favor of sermons, exhortations, sayings,
autobiographical narratives, letters, and anecdotal sketches
dealing frankly and compassionately with the concrete experiences
of lived practice.
While there are a number of publications in English on Zen
practice, none contain the vivid descriptions found within the Chan
Whip. This translation thus fills a large gap in the
English-language literature on Chan, and by including the original
Chinese text as well Broughton has produced an invaluable tool for
scholars and practitioners alike.
