«La esencia del Zen» is an anthology of classic Chinese Zen texts selected and translated by Thomas Cleary, published by Kairós in paperback.
It brings together teachings of Zen masters from the Tang and Song dynasties such as Dahui, Yuanwu, Foyan, Mazu or Linji. It presents a flexible and adaptable Zen, far from the rigid and monastic image, not tied to any particular culture. Practice relies on awareness and direct experience of the world, and is offered as a practical science of freedom rather than a closed religion or philosophy.
Kairós Classics collection. Spanish translation by David González Raga, Fernando Mora Zahonero and José Pérez Bahamonde. First edition in 1991.
Work for general readers interested in Zen Buddhism, spirituality and Eastern philosophy.
