A translation of the classic "Denkoroku" by one of the premier
translators of Buddhist and Taoist texts illustrates how to arrive
at the epiphanic Zen awakening known as "satori." The essential
initiatory experience of Zen, satori is believed to open up the
direct perception of things as they are. "Even if you sit until
your seat breaks through, even if you persevere mindless of
fatigue, even if you are a person of lofty deeds and pure behavior,
if you haven't reached this realm of satori, you still can't get
out of the prison of the world." Deliberately cultivated and
employed to awaken the dormant potency of the mind, satori is said
to be accessible to all people, transcending time, history,
culture, race, gender, and personality. Attributed to the
thirteenth-century Zen Master Keizan (1268-1325), "Transmission of
Light" (along with "The Blue Cliff Record" and "The Gateless
Barrier ")" "is one of three essential koan texts used by Zen
students. Techniques for reaching the enlightening experience of
satori are revealed through fifty-three short tales about the
awakenings of successive generations of masters, beginning with the
twelfth-century Zen master Ejo, dharma heir to Dogen. The
translator's introduction establishes the context for "Transmission
of Light" within the Zen canon and elucidates central themes of the
work, including the essential idea that genuine satori "is not the
end of Zen; it is more properly the true beginning."
