Introduction to Zen Koans - Learning the Language of DragonsPaperback
An indispensible guide to koans, teaching the reader about the importance of lineage, the practice of "just sitting," and koan practice as paths to awakening. James Ford, an excellent storyteller and longtime Zen practitioner, presents a detailed and beautiful description of the craft of zazen, including "just sitting" and various forms of breath meditation--but focuses primarily on koan introspection.The power of koans, these 'public cases' from China, has never ceased to enrich my own experience of Zen. "This marvelous book opens the treasure house of Zen and yet, happily, does not dispel its mystery.
They are a medium of exploration of the history, culture, and view of Zen, but most importantly are a medium of awakening.James Ford is fundamentally a koan person, and for this, the book is particularly rich, opening the practice of koans in a splendid way.
