The Iron Flute: 100 Zen Koans

The Iron Flute was compiled by Genro, an outstanding Zen master of eighteenth-century Japan, who added his commentary to each koan in poetry and prose. Later, Genro's chief disciple, Fugai, annotated the work with his own interpretations.

Now, in this edition, Nyogen Senzaki-a Japanese Zen master peerless in his ability to speak directly to the modern American heart-clarifies the meaning of both koan and commentary alike. Well versed in contemporary Western psychology and Philosophy, Senzaki is able to amplify the power of every word. Each koan becomes a lucid encapsulation of the essence of Zen, and The Iron Flute becomes an instrument that generously sounds the clear tones of enlightenment.

Nyogen's translation and commentaries effortlessly dissolve the barriers of language, culture, and even time, allowing The Iron Flute to uplift each of us with the same music that was heard by masters centuries ago, during the Golden Age of Zen.
