Zen Sand - The Book of Capping Phrases for Koan Practice Hori Victor SogenPaperback
Zen Sand is a classic collection of verses aimed at aiding practitioners of k an meditation to negotiate the difficult relationship between insight and language. Once a monk has successfully replied to a k an, the Zen master orders the search for a classical verse to express the monk's insight into the k an. As such it represents a major contribution to both Western Zen practice and English-language Zen scholarship.In Japan the traditional Rinzai Zen k an curriculum includes the use of jakugo, or capping phrases.
Until now, Zen students in the West, lacking this important resource, have been severely limited in carrying out this practice. Special collections of these jakugo were compiled as handbooks to aid in that search. Zen Sand combines and translates two standard jakugo handbooks and opens the way for incorporating this important tradition fully into Western Zen practice.
