When a Zen teacher tells you to point at your mind, which part of
your body do you point at? According to the Japanese master
Chikotsu Daie (1229–1312), you should point at the fistful of
meat that is your heart. Esoteric Zen demonstrates that far from an
outlier, Daie's understanding reflects the medieval Buddhist
mainstream, in which tantric teachings and Zen were closely
entwined movements that often developed within the same circles of
thinkers and texts. ,br/> Drawing on newly discovered manuscript
materials, it shows how medieval practitioners constructed a unique
form of Zen by drawing on tantric doctrinal discourses.
