Renowned modern Zen master Yamada Mumon Roshi uses Hakuins famous poem of spiritual realization, Song of Zazen, as a starting point to embark on a lively commentary on Zen practice in contemporary life.First published in Japan in 1962, Hakuins Song of Zazen is a celebrated collection of short essays by Zen master Yamada Mumon Roshi. Translated into English for the first time, it introduces the story of Hakuins early life and training, then uses his classic Zen chanting poem, Song of Zazen, to make wideranging considerations of the Zen tradition and its applications in modern Japanese life.As Daisetz Suzuki remarks in his foreword, what gives Mumons book its unique flavor and makes it different from previous works by Zen teachers are his forays into matters of ordinary, everyday life, expanding his Zen teaching to encompass interests that are closely linked with his lay audience. He responds to a news article that catches his eye in the morning paper, delivers criticism on contemporary political and social trends, explores matters as diversified as the uses of atomic energy, the court culture of seventeenthcentury France, a leper hospital on an island in the Inland Sea, Albert Schweitzer and other noted Western figuresand more. In doing this Mumon gives readers open access to the opinions, judgements, and practical thinking of a leading Zen mastera map of his planet, so to speak. Each brief chapter of Mumons book is an invitation to follow Hakuin and himself down the path of true Zen realization.
