Book Synopsis Zen Antics by : Thomas Cleary

Download or read book Zen Antics written by Thomas Cleary and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 1993-11-23 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Zen history, stories and anecdotes of Zen masters and their students have been used as teaching devices to exemplify the enlightened spirit. Unlike many of the baffling dialogues between Zen masters preserved in the koan literature, the stories retold here are penetratingly simple but with a richness and subtlety that make them worth reading again and again. This collection includes more than one hundred such stories—many appearing here in English for the first time—drawn from a wide variety of sources and involving some of the best-known Zen masters, such as Hakuin, Bankei, and Shosan. Also presented are stories and anecdotes involving famous Zen artists and poets, such as Sengai and Basho.
