The Gateless Gate: 49 Zen Koans (Annotated Edition)
“The Gateless Gate: 49 Zen Koans†is one of the most known collections of Zen stories. It was compiled in the early XIII century by the Chinese Zen master Wumen Hui-k’ai (1183–1260, also known as Mumon Ekai). Each koan is accompanied by a commentary and some verses.
This ebook contains the beautiful translation published in 1934 by Nyogen Senzaki (1876-1958), together with an essay on “Spiritual Enlightenment†written in 1906 by Soyen Shaku (1860-1919), the author of the book "Zen for Americans".
