Zen Poetry and Enlightenment of the World of Mortals
by Miao Huan
About This Novel
Poets use Zen to teach poetry, and Zen masters use poetry to express Zen. However, throughout the ages, poets have put in more and come out with less, while Zen masters have put in less and come out with more. Therefore, this book will be divided into two volumes to appreciate Zen poetry and express Zen through poetry. The first volume "Incorporating Zen into poetry" refers to incorporating Zen ideas into poetry, and was mostly written by lay people or scholar-bureaucrats. The second volume, "Referring to Zen through poetry," refers to using the form of poetry to express the meaning of Zen as the first priority, mostly written by Zen masters. Borrowing the form of general poetry appreciation books, adding appropriate koans or Buddhist stories and using poems as the basis for dividing chapters, you can enjoy both poems and Zen.
