Wild Ivy: The Spiritual Autobiography of Zen Master Hakuin
Hakuin
A fiery and intensely dynamic Zen teacher and artist, Hakuin (1685?1768) is credited with almost single-handedly revitalizing Japanese Zen after three hundred years of decline. As a teacher, he placed special emphasis on koan practice, inventing many new koans himself, including the famous ?What is the sound of one hand clapping?? This English translation of Hakuin?s intimate self-portrait includes reminiscences from his childhood, accounts of his Zen practice and enlightenment experiences, as well as practical advice for students.
