Editorial Reviews
Review
This is a remarkable collection of essays and sermons by eminent scholars and leading Zen masters covering a full range of historical materials and diverse approaches in the formation of koan studies in China and Japan, as well as commentary on numerous specific cases. One volume brilliantly put together by a premier modern interpreter of koans, John Daido Loori, illuminates both issues of historical development and the discovery of contemporary meaning and application in religious practice. –Professor Steven Heine, editor of The Zen Canon: Understanding the Classic Texts
Roshi Daido Loori has provided us with a valuable tool for appreciating the living tradition of koan study. –Gerry Shishin Wick, author of The Book of Equanimity

Following in the tradition of The Art of Just Sitting (endorsed as a “A book we have needed for a long, long time”), this new anthology from John Daido Loori illuminates the subtle practice of koan study from many different points of view.
