Book Reviews of Zen Letters: Teachings of Yuanwu
Book Review: A great treasure of Zen literature
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of great treasures of Zen--or for that matter, spiritual--literature. Yuanwu was one of the greatly enlightened beings, a true Buddha. Most Zen masters, for good reason, couched their teachings in language designed to help "wake up" their students, but which is usuually impenetrable to all of us who are decidedly on the unenlightened side. But in this marvelous book, Yuanwu speaks directly to Zen students in a way that both reveals his own transcendent state while giving spiritual guidance in earthy, practical, yet utterly inspiring words. This is a book that I dip into often for inspiration and guidance. I highly recommend it to you.
