The Spirit of Zen
By Sam Van Schaik
Narrated by Fred Stella
Published by Brilliance Audio in 2019
English, 7 hours 59 minutes, Unabridged
MP3 64 kbps, 218.61 MB, 1 file(s)
An engaging introduction to Zen Buddhism, featuring a new English translation of one of the earliest Zen text
Leading Buddhist scholar Sam van Schaik explores the history and essence of Zen, based on a new translation of one of the earliest surviving collections of teachings by Zen masters. These teachings, titled The Masters and Students of the Lanka, were discovered in a sealed cave on the old Silk Road, in modern Gansu, China, in the early twentieth century. All more than a thousand years old, the manuscripts have sometimes been called the Buddhist Dead Sea Scrolls, and their translation has opened a new window onto the history of Buddhism
Both accessible and illuminating, this book explores the continuities between the ways in which Zen was practiced in ancient times, and how it is practiced today in East Asian countries such as Japan, China, Korea, and Vietnam, as well as in the emerging Western Zen tradition
