Description:
A koan is a saying or action by a Zen master, probably the most famous being 'What is the sound of one hand clapping?' Seemingly pointless or incomprehensible, a koan is actually an invitation to think in a new way, a tool to startle the consciousness into enlightenment. This remarkable series of essays, each beginning with an instructive koan, is a challenge to open the mind.Drawing on the views of such diverse thinkers as Buddha, Bertrand Russell, Immanuel Kant, and T.S. Eliot to explain the essential concepts of Zen Buddhism, The Iron Cow of Zen is fascinating, thought-provoking reading.
