Features: Zen Buddhism is one of the major sects of Chinese Buddhism, with a unique outlook on life, value system, aesthetic taste, and way of thinking. It has had a profound and far-reaching influence on people in ancient Chinese society, particularly the scholar-official class, and has thus been closely linked to the history of Chinese intellectual and cultural traditions. The study of the formation, development, and evolution of Zen Buddhism, as well as the exploration of its characteristics in different periods, has become a significant topic in academic research. This book is a work by the renowned Taiwanese scholar Nan Huai-jin, introducing the figures and historical events of early Zen Buddhism. It is written in an accessible and concise manner, making it very suitable for beginners. With the authorization of the author and the original publishing house, Taiwan Lao Gu Cultural Enterprises, the 1994 edition of Lao Gu has been revised and published for research purposes.
