SynopsisThe most contemporary of the the classic koan collections--representing centuries of practical refinement by Zen masters working with their students. Entangling Vines is a translation of the Shumon Kattoshu , the only major koan text to have been compiled in Japan rather than China. Most of the central koans of the contemporary Rinzai koan curriculum are contained in this work. Indeed, Kajitani Sonin (1914-1995)--former chief abbot of Shokoku-ji and author of an annotated, modern-Japanese translation of the Kattoshu --commented that "herein are compiled the basic Dharma materials of the koan system." A distinctive feature of Entangling Vines is that, unlike the Gateless Gate and Blue Cliff Record , it presents the koans "bare," with no introductions, commentaries, or verses. The straightforward structure of its presentation lends the koans added force and immediacy, emphasizing the Great Matter, the essential point to be interrogated, while providing ample material for the rigors of examining and refining Zen experience. Containing 272 cases and extensive annotation, the collection is not only indispensable for serious koan training but also forms an excellent introduction to Buddhist philosophy.
