Zen Buddhism: The Mystical Poetry of Ikkyu
Part of the Zen Buddhism series
This book presents the mystery, wonder, and emptiness that is Zen. It uses the poetry of one of the most eccentric Zen masters, Ikkyu, to show the ways and methods a Zen master uses to permanently transform, rather than simply inform. Ikkyu's entire message is about how to experience the essence of emptiness: that blissful state of mindlessness in which all old conditioning disappears and man is free to simply be himself.
