Synopsis:
The unique teachings of the eccentric master Bankei, who stressed natural spontaneity and Zen's relevance to everyday life.

Bankei (1622-1693) has long been an underground hero in the world of Zen. At a time when Zen was becoming overly formalized in Japan, he emphasized the importance of naturalness. This volume presents his teachings - as refreshing and iconoclastic today as they were 300 years ago - in a fluent translation by Haskel, accompanied by a vivid account of Bankei`s life and times.

"A splendid record of a dramatically different Zen master." Huston Smith.

"Should remain for years to come the standard source book for the western student of Zen." Douglas Harding.

"Haskel has furnished us with an accurate and polished translation that fully captures the lively colloquial style of the original. Professor Hakeda has rendered invaluable assistance in resolving many linguistic problems and in furmishing important insights into the text itself." Philip Yampolsky.
