Book Description
Arntzen's classic study and select translation of the Japanese medieval Zen poetry Crazy Cloud Anthology (Kyōunshū 狂雲集) by the Buddhist monk Ikkyū 一休 (1394-1481) is a carefully revised edition of the 1986 University of Tokyo Press edition which was issued as part of the Japanese series of the UNESCO collection of representative works. This Quirin Press Edition offers the following features: - Fully revised, updated, and expanded by the author. - Contains additional selected poems from Ikkyū's 一休 Kyōunshū 狂雲集 with text in Chinese script, and Japanese kundoku reading in Romanization. - Carefully typeset and proofed for typographical errors and inconsistencies. - Includes a new Preface and Afterword. Keywords: Zen poetry, Japanese -- Translations into English. Ikkyū 一休, 1394-1481. Buddhist monks -- Japan. Ikkyū Sōjun 一休宗純 (1394-1481), Zen monk and poet, is an unconventional figure in Japanese literary history. An eccentric personality, he raged at the corruption and hypocrisy of the wealthy Zen monastic system of his day. Defiantly living outside that institution for much of his life, his community included artists, actors, and women entertainers/ brothel girls. Many of his poems have sexual desire at their core, engaging with it as a kōan. Authentic Zen master as well as sensual lyricist, Ikkyū created some of the most original poetry in the entire Zen tradition. Translations from the Crazy Cloud Anthology, or Kyōunshū 狂雲集, Ikkyū's major collection of poetry in literary Chinese, form the core of this work. Ikkyū's biography and historical context of medieval Japan are outlined in the first part of the introduction. The analysis sections provide a portal for the reader to enter the world of the poems by demonstrating how Ikkyū's poetry produces experiences of Zen most often through the dialectical use of allusion. Ikkyū's non-conformism in response to a troubled, uncertain time will strike a sympathetic chord in the modern reader. Students of Japanese literature and religion, culture and history will find Ikkyū an engaging figure. And lovers of poetry will be inspired by his candour and free spirit. Originally published by University of Tokyo Press in 1986 as part of the Japanese series of the UNESCO collection of representative works, the present Quirin Press edition both augments and revises this seminal exploration of Ikkyū's key poetic output.

Book Description
A wonderfully diverse collection of Zen poetry from China and Japan—including works by Lao Tzu and Han Shan—presented by two of America’s premier poet-translators A Zen poem is nothing other than an expression of the enlightened mind, a handful of simple words that disappear beneath the moment of insight to which it bears witness. Poetry has been an essential aid to Zen Buddhist practice from the dawn of Zen—and Zen has also had a profound influence on the secular poetry of the countries in which it has flourished. Here, two of America’s most renowned poets and translators provide an overview of Zen poetry from China and Japan in all its rich variety, from the earliest days to the twentieth century. Included are works by Lao Tzu, Han Shan, Li Po, Dogen Kigen, Saigyo, Basho, Chiao Jan, Yuan Mei, Ryokan, and many others. Hamill and Seaton provide illuminating introductions to the Chinese and Japanese sections that set the poets and their work in historical and philosophical context. Short biographies of the poets are also included.

Book Description
A taste of Zen for the seeker and the curious alike. This small but wise book collects Eastern and Western sayings, haiku, poetry, and inspiring quotations from ancient and modern thinkers. Its aim is not to define Zen or answer its famous koan—What is the sound of one hand clapping?—but rather to point to a fresh way of looking at the world: with mindfulness, clarity, and joy. “Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought” —Bashō New material is taken from contemporary spiritual leaders, writers, meditation teachers, and others with an emphasis on the practice of mindfulness—on the heart, rather than the head. Pen and ink illustrations from the author bring an additional layer of feeling and beauty.
