Abstract | Hongzhi–twelfth century Chinese Zen master who was predecessor of the famed Japanese spiritual writer Dogen–is celebrated in Zen literature as one of its most artistically graceful stylists. In these inspirational writings Hongzhi uses nature metaphors and poetical prose to articulate the experience and awareness of silent illumination,the nondual objectless meditation commonly known to modern Zen students as "just sitting." The introduction places his writings in the Zen tradition,including a discussion of the five ranks and the dialectics of Zen philosophy. |
