Zen Buddhism is one of the core essences of ancient Chinese culture, with many scholars and famous monks having studied and practiced it over the years. However, the texts that have been passed down are often difficult to understand and not easily accessible to ordinary readers. This book is a popular introduction to Zen Buddhism, primarily featuring Zen poetry and case studies (gong'an). The selection of poems and cases strives to stay close to the original philosophical thoughts of Zen, while being compiled in a way that suits modern readers. Each chapter stands alone yet connects with others. After reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of Zen Buddhism.
