The book is divided into two parts, the first part contains a selection of Zen stories and parables, while the second part features a collection of Zen poems. The stories and parables are drawn from various Zen traditions and are meant to convey the essence of Zen teachings in a simple and accessible way. The poems, on the other hand, are written by famous Zen masters and are meant to inspire contemplation and reflection. The book also includes an introduction that provides a brief history of Zen Buddhism and an explanation of its key concepts. Overall, A First Zen Reader is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about Zen Buddhism and its teachings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
