Book Synopsis Zen Poems of China & Japan by : Lucien Stryk

Download or read book Zen Poems of China & Japan written by Lucien Stryk and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capturing in verse the ageless spirit of Zen, these 150 poems reflect the insight of famed masters from the ninth century to the nineteenth. The translators, in collaboration with Zen Master Taigan Takayama, have furnished illuminating commentary on the poems and arranged them so as to facilitate comparison between the Chinese and Japanese Zen traditions. The poems themselves, rendered in clear and powerful English, offer a unique approach to Zen Buddhism, "compared with which," as Lucien Stryk writes, "the many disquisitions on its meaning are as dust to living earth. We see in these poems, as in all important religious art, East or West, revelations of spiritual truths touched by a kind of divinity."
