release notes/summary (backcover information)
With the growing popularity of Zen Buddhism in the
West, virtually everyone knows, or thinks they know,
what a koan is: a brief and baffling question or
statement that cannot be solved by the logical mind
and which, after sustained concentration, can lead to
sudden enlightenment. But the truth about koans is
both simpler--and more complicated--than this.
In Opening a Mountain, Steven Heine shows that koans,
and the questions we associate with them--such as "What
is the sound of one hand clapping?"--are embedded in
larger narratives and belong to an ancient Buddhist
tradition of "encounter dialogues." These dialogues
feature dramatic and often inscrutable contests between
masters and disciples, or between masters and an array
of natural and supernatural forces: rouge priests,
"wild foxes," hermits, wizards, shapeshifters, magical
animals, and dangerous women. To establish a new monastery,
"to open a mountain," the Zen master had to tame these
wild forces in regions most remote from civilization.
In these extraordinary encounters, fingers and arms are
cut off, pitchers are kicked over, masters appear in and
interpret each other's dreams, and seemingly absurd
statements are shown to reveal the deepest insights. Heine
restores these koans to their original traditions, allowing
readers to see both the complex elements of Chinese culture
and religion that they reflect and the role they played in
Zen's transformation of local superstitions into its own
teachings.
Offering a fresh approach to one of the most crucial
elements of Zen Buddhism, Opening a Mountain is essential
reading for anyone seeking to understand the full story
behind koans and the mysterious worlds they come from.
