Inhoud:

Presents the story of the rise of Chan, a story which has been obscured by myths about Zen. This book concentrates on an important but neglected period of Chan history, the 10th and 11th centuries, when monks and rulers created the so-called Chan "golden age" and the classic principles of Chan identity.
