Zen Poems Prayers: Sermons, Anecdotes, Interviews

by Lucien Stryk, Takashi Ikemoto (Contributor)

In trying to communicate the ineffable and unexplainable — the world of No-thing — the philosophy of Zen, perhaps more than any other, depends on suggestive example rather than authoritative exposition. This collection presents in diverse forms of literature and experience — poems, prayers, sermons, anecdotes, interviews, and talks — the indefinable yet unmistakable essence of Zen.
