The Compass Of Zen

One of the greatest Zen Masters of our time presents the most essential teachings of the three main Buddhist traditions - Hinayana, Mahayana and Zen, not through mere academic language, but through the enlightened wisdom, the playful storytelling which have always been his hallmark. Included is his "Ten Gates," a collection of ten important kong-ans (koans) which represent a revolution in Zen teaching. Sure to become a classic in its own right, the long-awaited Compass of Zen has already been designated a Shambhala Dragon Edition.
