Publisher Description: The record of Rinzai's teaching....shows a character of immense vitality and originality, lecturing his students in informal and somewhat 'racy' language. It is as if Rinzai were using the whole strength of his personality to force the student into immediate awakening....His approach to conceptual Buddhism, to the students' obsession with stages to be reached and goals to be attained, is ruthlessly iconoclastic. (Alan Watts) |
