Title: Among the great books of all time
Review: Huang Po's zesty and expansive teachings are brought to life in this small but infinitely faceted gem. It is as if the quintessential Zen Master himself is present in these pages and in the mind and being of the reader. It is remarkable that a transmission in a translated text over a thousand years old can be so profound. I have been reading and living with this book, and Huang Po's presence, for decades and the humor, as penetrating as the Marx Brothers, the generosity of spirit, and the merciless and elegantly paired down exposition of Zen are a continual source of joy.
