In this landmark anthology of some two dozen translations, celebrated translator David Hinton shows how Ch'an (Japanese: Zen)—too long considered a perplexing school of Chinese Buddhism—was in truth a Buddhist-inflected form of Taoism, China's native system of spiritual philosophy. The texts in The Way of Ch’an build from seminal Taoism through the “Dark-Enigma Learning” literature and on to the most important pieces from all stages of the classical Ch’an tradition. Guided by Hinton’s accessible introductions, readers will encounter texts and authors including:
- I Ching (c. 12th century BCE)
- Lao Tzu (c. 6th century BCE
- Bodhidharma (active c. 500-550 CE)
- Sixth Patriarch Prajna-Able (Hui Neng, 638-713)
- Cold Mountain (Han Shan: c. 8th-9th centuries)
- Yellow-Bitterroot Mountain (Huang Po, d. 850)
- Blue-Cliff Record (c. 1040)
