Zen Chants: Thirty-Five Essential Texts with Commentary

Zen Chants: Thirty-Five Essential Texts with Commentary

A Zen chant is like a compass that sets us in the direction of the awakened life; it is the dynamic, audible counterpart to the silent practice of zazen, or sitting meditation; and it is a powerful expression of the fact that practice happens in community. Here is a concise guide to Zen chants for practitioners, as well as for anyone who appreciates the beauty and profundity of the poetry in dharma. An introduction to the practice is followed by fresh and carefully considered translations and adaptations of thirty-five chantsâ€”some common and others less well knownâ€”along with illuminating commentary.
