Chan Whip Anthology: A Companion to Zen Practice(English)

Series: English

This anthology is a classic of Chan (Zen) Buddhism that has served as a Chan handbook in both China and Japan since its publication in 1600. It is a compendium of extracts, over 80% of which are drawn from an enormous Chan corpus dating from the late 800s to about 1600 - a survey that covers most of the history of Chan literature.
