Zen Sand: The Book of Capping Phrases for Koan Practice (Nanzan Library of Asian Religion and Culture) (Multilingual Edition)
Description
Zen monk Hori (Japanese religions, McGill U.) explains that the originals represented here are paperback books small enough to be tucked into the folds of a monk's kimono, and evolved from crib sheets that had to be hidden from the master. Capping phrases are succinct aids to help practitioners of Rinzai Zen negotiate the relationship between insight and language. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) - from Amzon
