Title: Zen teaching of Huang-Po
Review: The introduction to this book is a good overview and introduction to Zen for beginners.The notes provided by the translator are very erudite and helpful.This is an awsome text from a very enlightened Master. He continually refutes ceremony and intellectualism, pointing instead to the ineffable nature of Zen. Avoiding dualism and concentrating on immediacy, the Master says, reveals the path to follow the Way. This approach to "Reality" will be very foreign to the uninitiated Western mind. The book deserves to be read several times to allow its meaning to unfold.
