Zen Words for the Heart - Hakuin's Commentary on the Heart Sutra (Paperback, Reissue)

Hakuin Zenji (1689-1769) was one of the most important of all Japanese Zen masters. His commentary on the "Heart Sutra " is a Zen classic that reflects his dynamic teaching style, with its balance of scathing wit and poetic illumination of the text. Hakuin's sarcasm, irony, and invective are ultimately guided by a compassion that seeks to dislodge students' false assumptions and free them to realize the profound meaning of the "Heart Sutra " for themselves. The text is illustrated with Hakuin's own calligraphy and brush drawings.
