Studying oneself is forgetting oneself. Forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things!" ~Dogen. Zen Buddhism has flourished for over a thousand years as a rich and complex spiritual tradition. It is grounded in a time~honored body of ancient wisdom and ritual; yet it also embraces spontaneity and change, and is continuously evolving and growing. And while its origins lie somewhere in the remote mountains of China, today Zen Buddhism has a large number of followers in the West, and its teachings have been transmitted to a variety of cultural settings. Zen: Tradition and Transition is a unique anthology which encompasses both the history of Zen and its current practice all over the world. It offers for the first time an overview of Zen Buddhism which brings together contemporary Zen masters and scholars who are among the most distinguished figures in the field. The wide~ranging original contributions include Chinese master Sheng~Yen on the essential techniques of meditation; Philip Kapleau on the master~disciple relationship; and Philip Yampolsky on the historical evolution of Japanese Zen. Eminent translator Burton Watson analyzes hitherto untranslated Zen poetry classics from China and Japan, while Albert Low demonstrates the spirited style of Zen commentary in his essay on one of the tradition's best~known texts, Hakuin Ekaku's "Chant in Praise of Zazen," Other fascinating pieces include Morinaga Soko's memoir, "My Struggle to Become a Zen Monk," and T. Griffith Foulk's portrait of the daily life of modern Zen monks in Japan. The books editor, Kenneth Kraft, discusses recent developments in North American Zen~such as the adaptation of Zen training to the needs of people with careers and families and the increased participation of women ~ and Martin Colcutt concludes with an epilogue on the problems of authority in Western Zen. Accessible to beginners as well as challenging to advanced students, Zen: Tradition and Transition provides an authoritative and comprehensive perspective on one of the most important spiritual and philosophical movements of our time.
