Publisher description
A new revision of the revered translation of Tang-period Zen poetry. Translations from the Chinese by James Mitchell and Yulie Lou. This second revised edition describes the development of Zen Buddhism in Tang-period China and includes the recorded Teachings of Shitou Xiqian, Yaoshan Weiyan and Yunyan Tansheng. It presents the teachings of these three Buddhist masters instrumental in the development of the Caodong School, one of the Five Houses of chan, introduced as Soto Zen to Japan by Master Dogen Zenji in the 13th century. The translations were made during James Mitchell's tenure as visiting professor at the Foreign Affairs Graduate College of the People's Republic of China, Beijing, with the indispensable assistance of Prof. Yulie Lou, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Beijing University, after a careful examination and comparison of the Song-period histories
