Synopsis:
Sale edition. The writings of the twelfth-century Chinese Zen master Ta Hui are as immediately accessible as those of any contemporary teacher, and this book has become a modern classic - a regular feature of recommended Zen reading lists.
J.C.Cleary's translation is as noteworthy for its elegant simplicity as for its accuracy. He has culled from the voluminous writings of Ta Hui Tsung Kao in the Chi Yeuh Lu this selection of letters, sermons, and lectures, which cover a variety of subjects. Ta Hui addresses his remarks mainly to people in lay life and not to his fellow monks. Thus the emphasis throughout is on ways in which those immersed in worldly occupations can nevertheless learn Zen and achieve the liberation promised by the Buddha. Cleary's essay on Chan Buddhism and his short biography of Ta Hui place the texts in their proper historical perspective. |
