These miniature masterpieces of Chinese philosophy and literature offer a unique way of penetrating directly into the essence of Chan teaching, and in this new translation, Hinton affords readers an opportunity to experience these koans in English like never before.</p><p>Paring away the later commentaries that are usually presented with these koans, Hinton lets the original stories stand on their own, revealing themselves as nothing less than poetic expressions of the awakened mind. A far cry from the transcendence of life-and-death that typifies the traditional Buddhist goal of nirvana, this awakening is distinctly earthy and grounded in the rhythms of nature, shaped by the centuries of Taoist tradition that preceded Chan. Carefree ease, writes Hinton, is to move through life with the profound tranquility of the Cosmos itself as it unfurls through its perennial transformations.</p><p>Following his translation of <em>No-Gate Gateway</em> (2018) and <em>Blue-Cliff Record</em> (2024), this volume marks the completion of Hintons project to translate all three of the classic koan collections.</p>...7174754The Carefree-Ease Record413573https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-carefree-ease-record-9780834846333/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7180042/image.jpg?v=638846155856300000InStockMXN99999PR_DIEbook2025Inglés
