The Record of Linji (Nanzan Library of Asian Religion and Culture)

The 'Record of Linji' has been an essential text of Chinese and Japanese Zen Buddhism for nearly 1000 years. A compilation of sermons, statements, and acts attributed to the great Chinese Zen master Linji Yixuan, it serves as both an authoritative statement of Zen's basic stand-point and a central source of material for Zen koan practice.
