| Abstract | The koans in this text tell of charismatic early Zen masters who sought to demonstrate their spiritual authority by establishing new temples - a process known in the tradition as Opening a Mountain. With the growing popularity of Zen Buddhism in the West，virtually everyone knows, or thinks they know，what a koan is：a brief and baffling question or statement that cannot be solved by the logical mind and which, after sustained concentration，can lead to sudden enlightenment. But the truth about koans is both simpler - and more complicated - than this." "In Opening a Mountain，Steven Heine shows that koans, and the questions we associate with them - such as "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" - are embedded in larger narratives and belong to an ancient Buddhist tradition of "encounter dialogues"." "Offering a fresh approach to one of the most crucial elements of Zen Buddhism，Opening a Mountain is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the full story behind koans and the mysterious worlds they come from. |
