Two of DŌ gen's most esteemed translators provide key chapters form
his Zen masterpiece, the Shō bō genzō , in English with annotations
to guide the reader.
The two great streams of Zen Buddhism are the Soto sect, known as
the School of Silent Illumination, and the Rinzai school of
rigorous koan study. Dogen established Soto Zen in Japan, and his
work is widely known in the West with many of his books translated
into English. Hakuin is credited with the modern revival of the
Rinzai sect and is its most important teacher. His life has been a
great inspiration to the students and practitioners of Zen in the
West, and his writings offer great authority and practical
application.Norman Waddell has devoted a large part of his life to
translating and publishing work by and about Hakuin. This
collection of six diverse and independent works contains five
pieces never before translated into English, some of which have
been until quite recently unknown, even in Japan. A rich and
various gathering, the offerings here will be important to seasoned
practitioners as well as attractive to newcomers to Zen and
spiritual seekers of all faiths.
A fiery and intensely dynamic Zen teacher and artist, Hakuin
(1685-1768) is credited with almost single-handedly revitalizing
Japanese Zen after three hundred years of decline. As a teacher, he
placed special emphasis on koan practice, inventing many new koans
himself, including the famous "What is the sound of one hand
clapping?" This English translation of Hakuin's intimate
self-portrait includes reminiscences from his childhood, accounts
of his Zen practice and enlightenment experiences, as well as
practical advice for students.
