The two works translated in this book, \u003ci\u003eMumonkan\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Gateless Gate\u003c\/i\u003e) and \u003ci\u003eHekiganroku\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Blue Cliff Records\u003c\/i\u003e), both compiled during the Song dynasty in China, are the best known and most frequently studied koan collections, and are classics of Zen literature. They are still used today in a variety of practice lineages, from traditional zendos to modern Zen centers.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In a completely new translation, together with original commentaries, the well-known Zen teacher Katsuki Sekida brings to these works the same fresh and pragmatic approach that made his \u003ci\u003eZen Training\u003c\/i\u003e so successful. The insights of a lifetime of Zen practice and his familiarity with both Eastern and Western ways of thinking make him an ideal interpreter of these texts.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46415040577763,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781590302828","price":224.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781590302828.jpg?v=1748858733","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/9781590302828","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
