Description
A new translation of the Blue-Cliff Record by renowned translator David Hinton presents a fresh and powerful interpretation of this eleventh-century Ch'an koan collection. This collection, considered a philosophical text of profound power, is intended to create a direct experience of awakening, trusting oneself rather than teachers for insight. Hinton's translation brings to light the earthy insights of Ch'an's original wisdom, rendering the poetry, storytelling, and characters in this remarkable masterwork of classical Chinese literature. Free from commentaries that usually shroud it, Hinton's version presents only the original koans and poems, rekindling the provocative and illuminating fire of these one hundred classic koans. This new edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with the Blue-Cliff Record in its purest form, unencumbered by external interpretation.
