by Zenkei Shibayama
When the original Zen Comments on the Mumonkan went out of print, photocopied editions of this clear and clean translation and its sparkling commentaries proliferated among the scores of Zen students working with this foundational collection of koans. Now reprinted in a paperback edition, this famous work is once again broadly available to frustrate and engage-and penetrate-all those willing to step up to the gate.
