About This Item
Wisdom Publications,U.S., United States, 2006.. Very Good/No Dj. Octavo, softcover, VG in white and black wraps. Clean and unmarked. "Apart from Ricks Field's Classic How the Swans Came to the lake, reportage on the history of Zen in the West has tended to center on one or at most two traditions, e.g. Japanese Soto and Rinzai schools. James Ishmael Ford has instead taken a broad perspective, covering not only the Japanese and Chinese pioneers and influences but also extending his coverage to Korean, Vietnamese, and the syncretic Harada/Yasutani lineages. I found his clear account of Korean Kwan Um school's Dharma transmission model to be especially interesting. Informal in tone and extensive in coverage, Zen Master Who? should prove both informative and absorbing reading for a new generation of Zen students and teachers alike". 262 pp. including index.
