Eihei Dogen (1200-1253) is the most renowned of all the Japanese
Zen masters, and he is also one of the greatest writers and
philosophers Japan has ever produced. This title provides short,
inspirational selections from his work, chosen by two of today's
top authorities.
One hundred illuminating tales of the foibles and follies of
everyday fools, this elegant, humorous, and masterful little book
of wisdom is a welcome addition to the Buddhist canon "The One
Hundred Parable Sutra" is known as the most humorous sutra in all
of Buddhist literature. Here, Kazuaki Tanahashi, the celebrated
translator, calligrapher, and Dogen scholar, and Peter Levitt, an
award-winning poet, storyteller, and Zen practitioner, have
translated and retold these jewel-like parables with storytelling
panache for students, teachers, and seekers everywhere. With
appropriate commentary, each tale becomes a simple lesson for
everyday living. From the potter who seeks fame to the woman who
possesses great lust, these tales are told with a gentle clarity
that magnifies our appetites and delusions. In doing so, they
become an accurate mirror of the human condition. A Flock of Fools
is a perfect little book of wisdom, laughter, and compassion.
Beautifully designed for gift giving, this handsome volume is
illustrated with seventeen original brushwork drawings by
Tanahashi, one of the world's most renowned calligraphers.
