Sitting with Koans (Edited by John D. Loori)

Sitting with Koans: Essential Writings on Zen Koan Introspection by John Daido Loori The Zen tradition has just two main meditative practices: shikantaza, or "just sitting"; and introspection guided by the powerful Zen teaching stories called koans. Following in the tradition of The Art of Just Sitting (endorsed as a "A book we have needed for a long, long time"), this new anthology from John Daido Loori illuminates the subtle practice of koan study from many different points of view. Includes writings by Robert Aitken, William Bodiford, Robert Buswell, Roko Sherry Chayat, Francis Dojun Cook, Eihei Dogen, Heinrich Dumoulin, Hakuin Ekaku, Victor Sogen Hori, Keizan Jokin, Philip Kapleau, Chung-fen Ming-Pen, Taizan Maezumi, Dennis Genpo Merzel, Soen Nakagawa, Ruth Fuller Sasaki, Sokei-an Sasaki, Nyogen Senzaki, Zenkei Shibayama, Eido Shimano, Philip Yampolsky, Hakuun Yasutani, Wayne Yokoyama, and Katsushiro Yoshizawa.
