{"product_id":"two-zen-classics-mumonkan-and-hekiganroku","title":"Two Zen Classics: Mumonkan and Hekiganroku","description":"The strange verbal paradoxes called koans have been used in Zen training to help students attain a direct realization of truths inexpressible in words. The two works translated in this book, Mumonkan ( Gateless Gate ) and Hekiganroku ( Blue Cliff Record), both compiled during the Song dynasty in China, are the best known and most frequently studied koan collections, and are classics of Zen literature. In a completely new translation, together with original commentaries, Katsuki Sekida brings to these works the same fresh and pragmatic approach that made his Zen Training so successful. The insights of a lifetime of Zen practice and his familiarity with Western as well as Eastern ways of thinking make him an ideal interpreter of these texts.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0834801302\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0834801302.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:A.
