Search - Zen Dust: The History of the Koan and Koan Study in Rinzai (Linji) Zen

Zen Dust The History of the Koan and Koan Study in Rinzai Zen - Linji
Author: Ruth Fuller Sasaki, Isshu Miura

Originally published in Kyoto in 1966 by the First Zen Institute of America in Japan, and by Harcourt, Brace & World in New York in 1967, "Zen Dust: The History of the Koan and Koan Study in Rinzai (Linji) Zen" quickly established itself as the only major resource into Zen koan study available in any Western language. Long since out of print, t... more »his Quirin Pinyin Updated Editions (QPUE) Revised Edition offers the full original text with the following features: ?Older Wade-Giles transliteration fully updated and revised to the current Pinyin standard. ?Fully re-typeset and proofed for typographical errors and inconsistencies. ?A fully searchable E-book edition of this title will be made available in PDF format. Not to be confused with the earlier title by the same authors on the Zen koan, which is a much shorter preliminary version of the present volume, Zen Dust: The History of the Koan and Koan Study in Rinzai (Linji) Zen is divided into five main sections: ? Part One is an extensive essay by Ruth Fuller Sasaki on the history of the koan in Chinese and Japanese Rinzai Zen and how it developed into a unique technique to aid the monk in quest of enlightenment. ? Part Two is a translation of a series of lectures on koan study given by the Zen master Issh? Miura R?shi ? Part Three offers a selection of Zen phrases or capping phrases that were used as commentary and annotations to the often enigmatic koans. ? The notes to the first two sections of Zen Dust offer a veritable treasure trove of background information on the monks and masters that forged the koan-study tradition of Rinzai Zen in China and Japan. ? This is followed by an extensively descriptive bibliography that teases out the vast literature of Zen in particular and Buddhism in general by giving considerable background material not only on the content of the works but also the context in which they came to be put together. Along with the appendices, which include genealogical charts of Zen lines, and the extensive index, it is these last sections (totaling nearly 400 pages) that make Zen Dust an invaluable companion not only for students and Zen adepts seeking to delve in the unique spiritual training that koan study entails, but also for scholars and researchers of Zen Buddhism.
