### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Really Enjoyed This Book
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012*

I am a history buff as well as a zen buff, so this was a fun book for me.  The writing of the "characters" was crisp and clean.  The history provided was to the point, but I felt that I got a lot out of each chapter.Very good overview of the Golden Age of zen.

Love the part where a Master belittles a mountain yogi's attainment of rainbow-body.

*by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020*

I have been reading "spiritual" books for over 15 years, and I always find myself coming back to this little but powerful collection.  Cleary is, aside from being a lucid and authoritative translator, an expert curator.  He has selected the wheat, left the chaff, and arranged it all so beautifully that there is "more" in this small volume than in books 3x its size.  If someone has an appreciation for "zen", then there is no denying that this is all top quality material that one can return to over and over as I have for over a decade.  Some of the material took me years to appreciate, and some hit me right away, and still does.  This is, as they say, the "real stuff".
