Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A Man of Zen: The Recorded Sayings of Layman P'ang is a collection of teachings and anecdotes attributed to Layman P'ang, a revered figure in Chinese Zen Buddhism. P'ang, a lay practitioner rather than a monk, was known for his unconventional wisdom, simplicity, and humor, offering profound insights through everyday actions and interactions. The book presents his sayings, stories, and dialogues with other Zen masters, capturing his direct, no-nonsense approach to Zen practice. P'ang's teachings emphasize the importance of living in the present moment, the futility of intellectual knowledge, and the value of experience over theory. His candid and often witty remarks highlight Zen's core principles of spontaneity, non-attachment, and the pursuit of enlightenment in the midst of daily life.
