Sitting with Koans Essential Writings on Zen Koan Introspection

Description

The Zen tradition has just two main meditative practices: shikantaza, or “just sitting”; and introspection guided by the powerful Zen teaching stories called koans. Following in the tradition of The Art of Just Sitting (endorsed as a “A book we have needed for a long, long time”), this new anthology from John Daido Loori illuminates the subtle practice of koan study from many different points of view.Includes writings by: <ul> <li>Robert Aitken</li> <li>William Bodiford</li> <li>Robert Buswell</li> <li>Roko Sherry Chayat</li> <li>Francis Dojun Cook</li> <li>Eihei Dogen</li> <li>Heinrich Dumoulin</li> <li>Hakuin Ekaku</li> <li>Victor Sogen Hori</li> <li>Keizan Jokin</li> <li>Philip Kapleau</li> <li>Chung-fen Ming-Pen</li> <li>Taizan Maezumi</li> <li>Dennis Genpo Merzel</li> <li>Soen Nakagawa</li> <li>Ruth Fuller Sasaki</li> <li>Sokei-an Sasaki</li> <li>Nyogen Senzaki</li> <li>Zenkei Shibayama</li> <li>Eido Shimano</li> <li>Philip Yampolsky</li> <li>Hakuun Yasutani</li> <li>Wayne Yokoyama</li> <li>Katsushiro Yoshizawa</li> </ul>
