Description

Explore a comprehensive collection of Zen Buddhist literature with The Chan Whip Anthology: A Companion To Zen Practice. Published by Oxford University Press, this work provides an annotated translation of the Whip for Spurring Students Onward Through the Chan Barrier Checkpoints (Changuan cejin). Originally compiled by Yunqi Zhuhong (1535-1615), this anthology has functioned as a vital Chan handbook in China and Japan since its release in 1600. While often associated with the late Ming period, this text serves as a broad survey of Chan literature. It spans a massive historical range, featuring extracts from the late 800s (Tang dynasty) through approximately 1600. Jeffrey L. Broughton provides the translation and annotations, making these historical texts accessible for modern study. This book is an essential resource for those studying Buddhist history, religious texts, or the evolution of Zen practice through the centuries.
