The Story of Chinese Zen
By Nan Huai-Chin
258 pagessome people cite the Lankavatara Sutra’s passage on gradual cultivation as a proof that what Great Master Bodhidharma transmitted was gradual practice Zen, paying no attention to a later passage on the equal importance of the sudden and the gradual. This is really the epitome of crudity and shallowness.
A polemical overview of the Chan school from an energetic and opinionated modernist.
