Extending their successful series of collections on Zen Buddhism, Heine and Wright present a fifth volume, on what may be the most important topic of all -Zen Masters. Zen masters in China, and later in Korea and Japan, were among the cultural leaders of their times. Stories about their comportment and powerscirculated widely throughout East Asia. In this volume ten leading Zen scholars focus on the image of the Zen master as it has been projected over the lastmillennium by the classic literature of this tradition.
