A New Translation of the Linjilu in the Light of Ten Japanese Zen Commentaries
The Linjilu (Record of Linji or LJL) is one of the foundational texts of Chan/Zen Buddhist literature, and an accomplished work of baihua (vernacular) literature. This bracing new translation transmits the LJL&'s living expression of Zen&'s "e;personal realization of the meaning beyond words,"e; as interpreted by ten commentaries produced by Japanese Zen monks, over a span of over four centuries, ranging from the late 1300s, when Five-Mountains Zen flourished in Kyoto and Kamakura, through the early 1700s, an age of thriving interest in the LJL.
