Features: This book balances rationality and intuition, revealing the profound heart, Zen rhythm, and poetic sentiment contained in Zen poetry. It also uncovers the ultimate concern of Zen, "the true nature," and the essence of the three stages of Zen aesthetic perception, "seeing the mountain is just the mountain." The author points out that Zen poetry primarily embodies the realization of Zen's theory of the true mind, theory of enlightenment, and theory of states.
