By Ted Biringer "Author of The Flatbed Sutra of ... (Anacortes, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timeless Spring: A Soto Zen Anthology (Paperback)
Thomas Cleary's, Timeless Spring, is a superb collection of translations from the essential texts of Soto Zen. The Soto Zen teachings offered in these pages combine the eloquence of gifted speech and the force unlearned authority.
The records of the Soto masters forego any pretense to watered down guidance and deliver their message of Zen message in profound, unmediated terms from the very cliff edge of the limitations of language. Thomas Cleary's translations here, like all his translations, are exceptional. Without sacrificing either the letter or the spirit, Mr. Cleary makes the records of these seminal Zen masters accessible to English readers with all the clarity and force of the original. Demonstrating his usual high standard of scholarship, Thomas Cleary's provides an in-depth introduction and extensive notes for each section. |
