The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Joshu: Chao-Chou Chan-Shih Yu-Lu (Sacred Literature Series)

So striking were the replies of Joshu (778-897 CE) to students' questions, that it was said his lips emitted light. Joshu, also known as Chao-chou Tsing-chen, was renowned for his powerful ability to express the enlightened mind in a pithy manner. His sayings are extremely influential throughout the Zen tradition and included in most koan anthologies. Now here is the first full English translation of his sayings, lectures, dialogues, poems, and records from his pilgrimages. The translation aims for readability rather than literalness; helpful notes illustrate features from the Chinese that might not be evident in English. A historical introduction by the translator, a short biography of Joshu, and a useful glossary make The Recorded Sayings of Zen Master Joshu an invaluable text for any student of Buddhism.
