Von der hinteren Coverseite
Zen offers a selection of appealing, insightful texts - from the complete koans of the Gateless Gate (a thirteenth-century collection of spiritual puzzles used in the practice of Zen) to more modern poems that are not only thought provoking and evocative but rich in beauty and paradox. The anthology includes works by the masters of the Golden Age of Zen and by the famous poets Basho and Ryokan as well as by contemporary Zen masters. Many of the translations are by Lucien Stryk, the esteemed poet and Zen practitioner, who has also contributed a forward to the book.
An illuminating and accessible introduction, written by Zen scholar Dr. Miriam Levering, places the writing in context and explores key concepts. The photographs, carefully selected to harmonize with the texts, provide a magnificent visual framework. Readers are invited to open their imaginations to the joining of text and image, and let the quiet wisdom of both seep into their beings.
A reference section at the back of the book includes a glossary and a bibliography for those who wish to explore the subject further.
