Book Reviews of The Roaring Stream: A New Zen Reader (Ecco Companions)
Book Review: If you want one book on Zen, this is it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just want to add my voice here. I have read widely in the popular literature on Zen and Chan and this is my favorite book. It combines history and original texts with a beautiful translating style. Really, if you want one book on Zen, this is it.
