Features: Reading Zen Buddhist classics and public cases can be quite challenging. It's essential not to be misled by taking things out of context; one must personally seek verification to truly understand what Zen is and what Zen life truly entails. In this noisy and chaotic world, is Zen still relevant? Mr. Feng Youlan once said, "The main meaning of Zen Buddhism, when stripped bare, is actually simple and straightforward." However, this is indeed not an easy task. Many current Zen literature on the market are either vague or hesitant to fully express themselves, making it difficult for readers to grasp. This book specially invites Wang Deyan, a young scholar with years of study in Zen Buddhist classics, to meticulously compile his personal experiences and insights. It presents the enigmatic Zen public cases in a complete and coherent manner, explaining them clearly and concisely, with a focus on relevance to the present context. This is beneficial for contemporary readers to deeply absorb the spirit of Zen, enabling them to "understand and practice Zen with clarity."
