Nyogen Senzaki was raised in a Tendai Buddhist monastery and ordained as a Zen monk. Ruth Strout McCandless was a student of Senzaki and his collaborator in translating a series of Buddhist texts over many years. Together they also co-authored Buddhism and Zen.
The deepest knowledge in a spiritual tradition can be found in its stories, and in Buddhism these stories are the ancient Koans, used by Zen Monks for centuries to stimulate enlightenment. This collection of Koans was compiled by eighteenth-century Japanese Zen master Genro, who, along with his disciple, Fugai , and a living Zen master, Nyogen Senzaki, comments on each Koan. The lessons are timeless, thought provoking, and utterly satisfying to hear, especially as condensed here and read with so much compassion and authority by McLeod. Listening repeatedly makes them sound even richer and more connected to the heart of what spiritual seekers want. A treasure, deeply soothing to the ear as well as the soul.
