Sommario/riassunto

"When The Sound of One Hand Clapping came out in Japan in  1916 it caused a scandal. Zen was a secretive practice, its wisdom  relayed from master to novice in strictest privacy. That a handbook  existed recording not only the riddling koans that are central to Zen  teaching but also detailing the answers to them seemed to mark Zen as  rote, not revelatory.  For all that, The Sound of One Hand Clapping opens the door  to Zen like no other book. Including koans that go back to the



master  who first brought the koanteaching method from Japan to China in the  eighteenth century, this book offers, in the words of the translator,  editor, and Zen initiate Yoel Hoffmann, "the clearest, most detailed,  and most correct picture of Zen" that can be found. What we have here is  an extraordinary introduction to Zen thought as lived thought, a  treasury of problems, paradoxes, and performance that will appeal to  artists, writers, and philosophers as well as Buddhists and students of  religion"--
