{"product_id":"9780834823136","title":"The Undying Lamp of Zen: The Testament of Zen Master Torei","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Undying Lamp of Zen\u003c\/i\u003e is a pure and powerful distillation of Zen doctrine and practice written by Torei Enji (1721–1792), a Zen master and artist. Torei was best known as one of two \"genius assistants\" to Hakuin Ekaku, a towering figure in Zen Buddhism who revitalized the Rinzai school, which focuses on koan practice. Torei was responsible for much of the advanced work of Hakuin’s later disciples and also helped systemize Hakuin’s Zen teachings. \u003ci\u003eThe Undying Lamp of Zen\u003c\/i\u003e includes a range of principles and practices, from the most elementary to the most advanced. It is an indispensable aid to the practice of Rinzai Zen, while also providing tested traditional techniques for public access to Zen experience.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePremier translator Thomas Cleary provides a thorough introduction and illuminating footnotes throughout, and his masterful translation lets Torei’s distinctive voice shine through; Torei is energetic, no-nonsense, and full of personality. No other English translations of this classic are available and Zen aficionados will want to add this to their collection.","brand":"Shambhala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129558319344,"sku":"9780834823136","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780834823136_p0.jpg?v=1763812588","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780834823136","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
