Korean Approach To Zen

Buswell, Robert E., Jr.. TRACING BACK THE RADIANCE: CHINUL'S KOREAN WAY OF ZEN.. University of Hawaii Press, Honolulu, 1992, 3rd printing.,
232 pp, 8vo (9" H), soft cover. ISBN 0824814274 "Chinul (1158-1210) was the founder of the Korean tradition of Zen. In this tradition, the optimal regimen of training starts with an initial sudden awakening of the mind's inherent radiance and elightenment, followed by gradual cultivation of that awakening, so that one can learn to 'act' as well as 'be' enlightened. The principal means Chinul proposes for catalyzing this initial awakening is through tracing the radiance emanating from the luminous core of the mind back to its source, restoring the mind to its natural enlightened state. Chinul provides one of the most lucid and accessible accounts of Zen practice and meditation to be found anywhere in East Asian literature. (This book), an abridgement of Buswell's 'Korean Approach to Zen: The Collected Works of Chinul", combines an extensive introduction to Chinul's life and thought with translations of three of his most representative works."
