Its indelibly memorable title character, the Master Linji-infamous for the shout, the whack of the rattan stick, and the declaration that sutras are toilet paper-is himself an embodiment of the very teachings he propounds to his students: he is a "true person," free of dithering; heexhibits the non-verbal, unconstrained spontaneity of the buddha-nature; he is always active, never passive; and he is aware that nothing is lacking at all, at any time, in his round of daily activities. This bracing new translation transmits the LJL's living expression of Zen's "personal realization of the meaning beyond words," asinterpreted by ten commentaries produced by Japanese Zen monks, over a span of over four centuries, ranging from the late 1300s, when Five-Mountains Zen flourished in Kyoto and Kamakura, through the early 1700s, an age of thriving interest in the LJL. These Zen commentaries form a body of vital, in-house interpretive literature never before given full credit or center stage in previous translations of the LJL. Here, their insights are fully incorporated into the translationitself, allowing the reader unimpeded access throughout, with more extensive excerpts available in the notes. Also provided is a translation of the earliest extant material on Linji, including a neglected transmission-record entry relating to his associate Puhua, which indicate that the LJL is a fully-fledged workof literature that has undergone editorial changes over time to become the compelling work we know today. 606 $aLinji (Sect)$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aZen Buddhism$vEarly works to 1800 606 $aZen literature$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLinji (Sect) 615 0$aZen Buddhism 615 0$aZen literature 676 $a294.385 700 $aYixuan$f-867,$0856923 702 $aWatanabe$b Elise Yoko 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464087303321 996 $aThe record of Linji$91924822 997 $aUNINA
