«Contes zen» is an anthology of Zen tales by Henri Brunel, published by EJL in paperback (95 pages, in French).
Henri Brunel collects and adapts tales from the Zen tradition, populated with animals, magic mirrors and samurai, to bring that philosophy closer to the Western reader. With humor and paradox, these tales invite us to recognize that the Buddha nature is already within oneself and to savor a surprisingly timely ancient teaching.
It belongs to the Librio Spiritualité collection and its 2003 edition offers the complete text in French; the work originally appeared in 1999 as «Les plus beaux contes zen».
A read for those interested in Zen philosophy, spirituality and the short story of Japanese tradition.
