DESCRIPTION:
"Pale Blue Mirror Ocean" according to Karima V. Bushnell. This is a special book with a fragrance about it. The rich blue cover with its stylized plumb tree (for the White Plumb Zen lineage) is beautiful, and the titles of the individual sections (like "Patience! Small birds are speaking!", "Deep Intimacy and even Deeper Intimacy," and "Same Wind Blowing for a Thousand Miles") are arresting and intriguing. The book, adapted from an ancient text, recounts the transmission of awakening and awareness through fifty-two generations o. William Bagley said Snapshots of a Living Lineage. I have found the translations and interpretations of Lex Hixon to be very fresh, alive, straightforward, and slightly heretical (in a good way). They show that no mere translator is at work but comes from one who understands what is being shared and lets his understanding bring aliveness back into the old words. This book traces a whole person to person transmission for centuries as the teachings and enlightenment of the Buddha are passed on into the future to reach us no. Supreme! linda coleman For any Zen student, particularly one immersed in koan study, this book is a gem richly expands on Keizan Zengi's koans in Transmission of the Light. A beautiful writer with a deep clarity.
Explores the moment when spiritual light transforms itself from one soul on to the heart of another.
