摘要
The Record of Linji stands as one of the great classics of the Zen tradition and modern Zen master and reformer Hisamatsu Shin'ichi offers a lively and penetrating exploration of the religious essence of the text. Several decades ago at a series of Zen retreats at the Myoshinji monastery in Kyoto，Hisamatsu gave the twenty-two talks translated here. The book features a preface by renowned Zen philosopher Abe Masao and an introduction by Yanagida Seizan，the foremost scholar of classical Zen texts. The translators have added annotations for technical terms and textual references.
