Le Bol et le Bâton: 120 contes zen

Text

A posthumous collection of one hundred and twenty classical Zen tales as told and commented on by Deshimaru in the dōjō, prepared from kusen transcripts. The cases run from the Tang encounter dialogues through Dōgen's Shōbōgenzō anecdotes, each followed by Deshimaru's compact French commentary. Functions as the AZI's working koan-anthology in the absence of a formal Rinzai-style curriculum.
