Zen Sourcebook: Traditional Documents from China, Korea, and Japan ReviewThere are, of course, many collections that document the early days of Ch'an/Zen Buddhism. This is the first I've seen that includes talks and writings of Korean masters, as well as those from China and Japan.
The editors have created new translations of many of the texts. I found these translations to be energetic and spacious, opening new vistas into some of these old cases and records.
I read the book cover to cover and discovered a remarkable unity of teaching across tradition and country. Here's one excerpt, from the writings of the seminal Korean teacher, Chinul:
"The three worlds are burning with suffering like a house on fire. How long can we endure this? The best way to escape the wheel of suffering is to seek Buddhahood, but before you seek Buddhahood you should know that Buddha is nothing but your own mind. Do not look for your mind far away: it is within this body of yours."
Finally, the brief introduction contains the best short history of Zen that I've ever seen. Every serious Zen student should read this book, cover to cover.
