Description
Awakened Cosmos: The Mind of Classical Chinese Poetry This deeply original exploration of Taoist and Ch'an Buddhist wisdom is presented through the life and work of China's greatest classical poet, Tu Fu. The book delves into the fundamental question of consciousness, tracing the Cosmos awakened to itself. Through Tu Fu's writing, which spans periods of relative normalcy and years as an impoverished refugee, the book reveals the profound insights of Taoist/Ch'an philosophy across the full range of human experience. Each chapter presents a key poem, accompanied by an original English translation and a lyrical essay discussing the philosophical dimensions of the poem. This unique approach offers a profound understanding of the Cosmos awakened to itself, as embodied in the life and work of Tu Fu.
