Yuanwu was an 11th-century enlightened teacher in the Linji school of Chinese Zen, and this book is a compilation of his letters to students and practitioners discussing the psychology, attitude, and practice pertaining to Awakening. An excellent and inspiring work, totally breathtaking; Yuanwu's teachings spill out of the pages directly into your soul. He is a practical guide in a trackless land.
