Bankei Zen: Translations from the Record of Bankei
Yoshito Hakeda
The eccentric Bankei (1622� 1693) has long been an underground hero in the world of Zen. At a time when Zen was becoming overly formalized in Japan, he stressed its relevance to everyday life, insisting on the importance of naturalness and spontaneity. This volume presents his teachings � as refreshing and iconoclastic today as they were three hundred years ago � in a fluent translation by Peter Haskel, accompanied by a vivid account of Bankei's life and times, illustrations, and extensive notes for the scholar.
