Nine Pieces of Zen |
Wide Ocean |
This book is about Zen before it became Zen. It explores the original “no-mind” teachings of early Zen Buddhism as they evolved in T’ang Dynasty China during the 8th and 9th centuries. It also looks at the philosophical origins of Zen as part of the living tradition of Mahayana Buddhism.
