The meditation method of shikantaza, or "just sitting," is articulated by 12th-century Chinese Zen master Hongzhi, whose poetry remains influential in modern Zen literature. This revised English translation showcases his profound insights and literary beauty through a collection of religious poems. Translator Daniel Leighton provides an extensive introduction that contextualizes Hongzhi's work historically, along with lineage charts detailing the Chinese impact on Japanese Soto Zen. This collection is essential for anyone interested in Zen practices and literature.
