Title: ZEN CLASSICS. Formative Texts In The History Of Zen Buddhism.
Description: Oxford / New York, Oxford University Press, 2006. 2nd printing 283 pp. Pb. This is a companion volume to The Koan and The Zen Canon, by the same editors. The Koan collected original essays on koan collections, recorded sayings of individual masters, histories of major schools, and compilations of monastic regulations. The Zen Canon focuses on the early history of Zen in China, providing overview assessments of many of the most important canonical texts that set the Zen tradition in motion throughout East Asia. Zen Classics will follow that historical movement, focusing primarily on texts from Korea and Japan that brought this Buddhist movement to fruition. Although enormously diverse in style and structure all of the texts and genres of texts considered here were fundamental to the unfolding of Zen in East Asia. near fine condition
