Synopsis
From the complete koans of The Gateless Gate (a 13th–century collection of spiritual puzzles) to a generous selection of haiku, this inspirational anthology offers appealing Zen-based texts that bring insight and contemplation into busy modern lives. The excerpts, which include work both by the masters of the Golden Age of Zen as well as by contemporary writers, are not only thought-provoking and evocative, but rich in beauty and paradox.
Many of the translations, as well as the foreword, are by Lucien Stryk, an esteemed poet and Zen practitioner, while scholar Dr. Miriam Levering places the writings in context and explores key concepts. Breathtaking photographs—many of them nature-based, with forest views, atmospheric skies, and rushing brooks—provide a magnificent visual framework.
Readers are invited to open their imaginations to the harmony of text and image, and to let the quiet wisdom of both seep into their being.

Zen is a pretty good book!!by RayBenson

August 27, 2009: Zen is a pretty good book. I enjoyed the wonderful pictures that are almost all the way through out the book. The poems and explinations of a lot of the old texts and their meanings were helpful and does give one some things to contimplate and see if the verse or poem has any deeper meaning in ones mind and or life while meditating.
