Zen Keys: A Guide to Zen Practice

Text

Thích Nhất Hạnh's 1973 introduction to Vietnamese Thiền, originally published in French as Clés pour le Zen. Distinct from his later mindfulness writings, it situates his teaching in the lineage of Linji and the Trúc Lâm tradition, and remains his clearest book-length account of kōan practice as a Mahāyāna inheritance.
