The Japanese texts translated here give a fascinating picture of
actual Zen life - the life of the traditional temple training, with
many stories and a number of historical incidents connected with
Zen masters. The main text is the important commentary by a
contemporary Soto Zen abbot on the Heart Sutra - the shortest and
most difficult sutra in Mahayana Buddhism. Then comes a translation
of the Yasen Kanna, a short autobiographical piece by Hakuin, the
Japanese Zen teacher, monk and poet who revitalized Rinzai Zen in
the eighteenth century. The remaining texts show what Zen means in
Japan today.
