THE ZEN EXPERIENCE
Library Journal
called it, “The best history of Zen ever
written.”
The truth of Zen has always resided in individual
experience rather than in theoretical writings. To give
the modern reader access to understanding of this
truth, THE ZEN EXPERIENCE illumines Zen as it
was created and shaped by the personalities,
perceptions, and actions of its masters over the
centuries.
Beginning with the twin roots of Zen in Indian
Buddhism and Chinese Taoism, we follow it through
its initial flowering in China under the First Patriarch
Bodhidharma; its division into schools of “gradual”
and “sudden” enlightenment under Shen-hsui and
Shen-hui; the ushering in of its golden age by Hui-
neng; the development of “shock” enlightenment by
Ma-tsu; its poetic greatness in the person of Han-
shan; the perfection of the use of the koan by Ta-hui;
the migration of Zen to Japan and its extraordinary
growth there under a succession of towering
Japanese spiritual leaders.
Rich in historical background, vivid in revealing
anecdote and memorable quotation, this long-needed
work succeeds admirably in taking Zen from the
library shelves and restoring its living, human form.
