Zen is famous for koans (called kong-ans in Korean, and in this
book), those bizarre and seemingly unanswerable questions Zen
masters pose to their students to check their realization (such as
"What is the sound of one hand clapping?"). Fear of koans keeps
some people from ever giving Zen practice a try. But here, through
the experience of seeing a modern Zen master work with his
students, you can see what koan training is really like: It's a
skillful, lively practice for attaining wisdom.This book presents
the system of ten koans that Zen Master Seung Sahn came to call the
"Ten Gates." These koans represent the basic types one will
encounter in any course of study. Each of the ten gates, or koans,
is illuminated by actual interchanges between Zen Master Seung Sahn
and his students that show what the practice is all about: it is
above all a process of coming to trust one's own wisdom, and of
manifesting that wisdom in every koan-like situation life presents
us with.
BONE OF SPACE is in the remarkable collection of tradition Zen poetry begun in China in the T'ang dynasty, and today alive as ever through the poems of Zen Master Seung Sahn.
THE COMPASS OF ZEN is Korean Zen master Seung Sahn's distillation of the essential core of Zen teaching. Originally written in the early 1970s, it is a clear presentation of Zen teaching and practice. This volume contains the original COMPASS along with Seung Sahn's elaboration on its main points, taken from his lucid and often hilarious talks.
