Book Review: Purity and clarity in "Mud..."
Summary: 5 Stars
Zen Master Bassui's instruction always cut right to the heart of the great matter: he emphasized deep and clear penetration into one's own true nature. Questioned about many common Buddhist concepts, Bassui brought the listener - and here the reader- back again and again to the inescapable necessity of seeing one's true nature. In this manner, all the dualistic questionings are brought back to the non-dual. Arthur Braverman's translation reflects his expertise and personal history in Zen practice inasmuch as he sensitively unlocks the insights of the teachings in their original language and historical context and brings them forth into English. This and his explanatory notes keep the reader on track for understanding a Zen teacher whom I find much more accessible than Dogen. Plus, its just a very enjoyable and readable book.
