Two Zen Classics by Katsuki Sekida
Mumonkan and Hekiganroku
A lucid, practice-focused presentation of two classic Zen koan collections that pairs direct translations with detailed, practice-oriented commentary. It demystifies koans by explaining their function and historical context while offering concrete guidance on posture, breath, and the psycho-physical states encountered in meditation, emphasizing experiential insight over abstract theory. The result is a clear, scholar-practitioner guide aimed at Western readers seeking practical instruction in Zen practice rather than sectarian exposition.
