Zen Buddhism is more of an attitude toward life than a system of strict religious belief, Wisdom of the Zen Masters brings together, into a single volume, inspiring selections from the most important and famous zen texts.
Only one Chinese Buddhist work ever attained the status of an official scripture-the Plaform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch. World-renowned author Tsai Chih Chung illustrates the key narrative of this sacred text, and follows the orthodox line of Zen transmissin in a loosely chronological format from patriarch to patriarch, master to master.
In adition to the Platform Stura, C.C. Tsai has illustrated many other key premodern Zen texts ,including the Transmission of the Lamp, the Gateless Gate (Mumonkan), and the Blue Cliff Record. All are recognized as rich sources of the infamous Zen koan. The result is a charming journey through the history of dozens of illustrious and irreverent Zen masters, complete with enlightening anecdotes and disarming wisdom.
The sixth book in the tremendously successful Zen Speaks series, Wisdom of the Zen Masters is a perfect introduction to Zen Buddhism.
Tsai Chih Chung is a world-renowned Taiwanese cartoonist and popularizer of Chinese philosphy. HIs books have sold over eighteen million copies in China and have been translated into a dozen languages. He lives n Taiwan.
Brian Bruya is a professional translator with a B.A. in philosophy and Chinese from the University of Washington. He first encountered Tai's work while employed at the National Palace Museum in Taiwan. The translator of Tsai's first six books, he lives in Honolulu, Hawaii.
'Tsai Chih Chung's books are awe-inspring. His line is elegant; his characters are sharply drawn; his humor is sly and appropriate; and his subject is profound. This is cartooning of the highest order.'-Larry Gonick, author of The Cartoon History of the Universe, Volumes I and II
