Summary
"And yet you take the true eye of the dharma and call it a broken sand bowl."
Asked for the most exalted thing in Zen, the mind handed down from the Buddha, the young monk Mi'an called it a cracked earthenware bowl. His teacher made him his heir, and the answer spread far and wide through the monasteries of China.
This second volume of the Zen Classics gives in full the recorded sayings of Mi'an Xianjie and of the three masters who came after him: Songyuan Chongyue, whose stupa inscription was written by the poet Lu You; Po'an Zuxian, who left abbacy after abbacy and died on coarse greens and broken rice; and Yun'an Puyan, who was given the robe of his ancestors and refused it. Two great lines of Japanese Zen descend from these four men.
Zen Classics, Volume II. Translated from the Chinese, with an introduction, glossary, bibliography and index, by Rob Newton M.D.
