The Book of Serenity by Thomas Cleary

This lyrical translation of the classic 12th century text of Chan Zen Buddhism, the Shoyo Roku, by renowned translator Thomas Cleary is an invaluable resource for longtime practitioners and new students alike. A collection of 100 Zen koans, each followed by commentary, verses on the commentary and a concluding commentary on the whole. With a glossary of Zen/Chan terms. The Book of Serenity is a “treasure house of inspiration and guidance in studying the ocean of Buddhist teachings.”– Tenshin Reb Anderson.
