The sixth book in the Zen Speaks series of cartoonillustrated adaptations of Chinese thought and philosophy by worldrenowned author Tsai Chih Chung, Wisdom of the Zen Masters combines selections from the most important and famous Zen texts into a single volume.Only one Chinese Buddhist work ever attained the status of an official scripture, the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch. Wisdom of the Zen Masters illustrates the key narrative of this text and follows the orthodox line of Zen transmission in a loosely chronological format from patriarch to patriarch, master to master. The result is a delightful romp through the history of forty or so illustrious and irreverent Zen masters, complete with enlightening anecdotes and disarming wisdom.In addition to the Platform Sutra, many episodes are drawn from other key Zen texts, including the Transmission of the Lamp, the Gateless Gate (Mumonkan), and the Blue Cliff Record. All of these are recognized as rich sources of the famous Zen koan.Wisdom of the Zen Masters is not only a perfect introduction to Zen Buddhism, but also an essential component of any Zen collection.

The 'Wisdom of the Zen Masters' has some beautiful illustrations that caught my eye. However, I was hoping for deeper discussions behind the quotes. It feels a bit surface-level. Still, it’s nice to have on my shelf.

Great for beginners in mindfulness
I bought this book for my friend who's new to Zen philosophy. The teachings are quite approachable, and I feel like it covers a good range of topics without being overwhelming. She’s finding it helpful in her journey toward mindfulness.
