Synopsis "open table: koans and comments"

This newly updated collection of traditional Zen Buddhist koans is lovingly retold for the modern student of Buddhism. The language and cultural details of the koans are simplified for the Western reader without diluting the cultural flavor or significance. A true revelation, be the first on your block to be enlightened! Koans are Zen Buddhist teaching tools -riddles, anecdotes, dialogues, and such- used by the master to liberate the logical mind of the student. The linguistic nature of koans lends itself to poetic language and, thus, these koans are offered and expanded in poetry rather than prose. Even if you are familiar with the practice of Zen koans, this book will enhance your understanding of the koans themselves, further opening that important aspect of Buddhist monastic culture to you. A penetrating and simply powerful read for both student and master, open table is a glistening landscape for the journey of the mind and soul.
