## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful short book!
*by S***A on March 20, 2016*

Sam van Schaik has delivered a short masterpiece on the practices of now-extinct Tibetan Zen. Documents retrieved from a cave near Dunhuang - a mix of sutras, teaching guides and student primers - provide a fascinating look at Zen during the period 700-1000 CE.The book chapters each focus on a limited area of Zen practice, but together they paint a clear picture. Each chapter has an introduction describing historical context and illustrating subtleties in the translation, followed by the translated document.It is interesting that many of the teaching documents contain brief FAQs intended to focus teaching correctly. I learned the answers to a few questions I should have asked my teacher long ago.This translation is wonderfully rendered in modern English. It is a pleasure to read.Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priceless Teachings in a Smartly Written Volume
*by M***P on March 14, 2016*

This is a very well written book! The teachings contained herein were holed up until 1900 in remote caves in China. Reading through this smartly translated work, I marveled at the connecting threads of these teachings now appearing in English for the first time. I feel very fortunate and blessed to be able to study them in the language of my mother tongue.The breadth and scope of details from this historiography is wonderfully presented, as well as, pith instructions for all levels of practitioners on the path. It is a gem.

### ⭐⭐⭐ For Scholars
*by S***A on December 24, 2023*

Too dry, too academical to me. I didn't finish it.Yet, I liked much the first part of excerpts from Chan teachings that point directly to the highest view.
