Description
The first full English translation gives the odd, outrageous, and illuminating replies of this founding Zen (Ch'an) master from North China to the questions of 8th and 9th century Buddhist monks. It is said of Joshu that his lips emitted light, evoking clearly his own experience and enlightenment. His teachings are a keynote in the official koan of Zen.
