Description

Joshu asked Nansen: ‘What is the Path?’ Nansen replied: ‘Daily life is the Path.’ Joshu asked: ‘Can one study it?’ Nansen said: ‘If you try to study it, you will drift away, leaving it far behind you.’ Joshu asked: ‘But if I don’t study it, how will I know that it is the Path?’ Nansen said: ‘The Path does not belong to the world of perception, nor does it belong to the world of non-perception. Understanding is a delusion, and non-understanding is foolishness. If you wish to reach the true Path beyond doubt, place yourself in the same freedom as the sky. Do not call it good or not good.’

Upon hearing these words, Nansen was enlightened. A collection of unique stories of instant openings of the mind and insightful perception, this volume treasures the wisdom of Zen masters. The texts that comprise it, filled with immediacy, unpretentious poetry, and vivid imagery, form a sequence of illuminations that promise to bring the reader closer to enlightenment.
