*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 90 pages Published by: Ithuriel's Spear February 11, 2005 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0974950238 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0974950235 Book Dimensions: 8.2 x 5.2 x 0.4 inches Weighs: 3.2 ounces *Book Description* This book describes the development of Zen Buddhism in Tang-period China, and it presents almost completely the recorded teachings of Shitou Xiqian, Yaoshan Weiyan and Yunyan Tansheng, gathered from the Chinese canon. These three Buddhist masters were instrumental in the growth of the Cao-Dong School, one of the "Five Houses" of Chan, later introduced to Japan by Master Dogen Zenji in the 13th century as Soto Zen. *About The Author* The translations were made during James Mitchell's tenure as visiting professor at the Foreign Affairs Graduate College of the People's Republic of China, Beijing, with the indispensable assistance of Prof. Yulie Lou, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Beijing University, after a careful examination and comparison of the Song-period histories. The prefatory essays and commentary were added by James Mitchell after independent study at the University of California, Berkeley. He has written several articles on Buddhist topics, and he began Buddhist practice at San Francisco Zen Center in 1969. Back To Top
