The Golden Age of Zen: The Classic Work on the Foundation of Zen Philosophy

GREAT!Perfectly flowing history of early Chinese Zen Masters
First of all, this is a page-turner, from the Foreward by Thomas Merton, through the last page, which you hate to see arrive. It traces the early Chinese development of Ch'an, which relies on the guidance of an Enlightened Master, rather than the Japanese method of "Zazen", or "sitting quietly" (meditation), as a means of obtaining Enlightenment. Most of what we in the west know about Zen has ...

Overview of the Zen masters

Wu gives the Chinese text adjacent to each chapter in English, and a translation that Thomas Merton calls superb. I must agree with Merton. Chinese idoms and the nuances of the ...

Sheed & Ward, 1953

Outstanding wonderful book
I am very sad that this wonderful book is out of print. I have tried to find out who owns the copyright so that, if it is out of copyright, I could simply scan it onto the web. Can't find out however. The author was a famous expert in law in the middle years of the twentieth century. Of Chinese origin, he grew up steeped in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. As a young adult, he converted ...
