When Zen Buddhism crossed from China to Japan in the twelfth
century, it entered a phase of development that was not only to
inspire a magnificent range of artistic achievement but also to
exert a tremendous influence upon Japanese life itself and,
eventually, to bring to the attention of the West a religious
philosophy both unique and challenging in its power. 'Yet', as one
of the contributors to this book (first published in 1960)
expresses it, 'if asked what Zen is, to reply is very difficult.'
It is the purpose of this anthology to suggest an approach to such
a reply. The texts here translated will give a general idea of Zen
theory and practice, and are outstanding selections from the
treasury of Zen literature. To these, the anthologist has added a
valuable 'Note on the Ways', in which he points out how 'the
student keeps his Zen practice in touch with his daily life'. The
exceptional interest of the text is further enhanced by twenty
illustrative plates.
