Synopsis:
New edition. A translation with commentary on the Mumonkan, a classic Koan collection. By entering into the spirit of a koan, which is usually a dialogue or saying from Zen history or the sutras, the Zen student is obliged to let go of limited perspectives and move beyond conditioning to gain the clarity and breadth of enlightenment. This translation of Gateless Gate, which along with the Blue Cliff Record is considered to be one of the foremost koan collections, was compiled with the western reader in mind. It also includes Yamada's commentaries.
"Koun Yamada gave the teachings in this book out of concern that true Zen understanding was dying out. His clear and good-humoured explanations make the Gateless Gate indispensible to students of koans and accessible to everyone." Jan Chozen Bays.
"Kuon Yamada's superb translation and pithy commentaries directly convey Master Mumon's vivid Zen. How fortunate we are to have this book!" Roko Sherry Chayat.
"Yamada Roshi's profound teachings will help Zen students of all abilities to appreciate the significance of koans, not as paradoxical riddles, but as touchstones of reality." Gerry Shishin Wick. |
