Hakuin on Kensho
the Four Ways of Knowing

Just published....

(from the back cover)

Kensho is the experience of waking up to one's own true nature - of understanding oneself to be not different from the Buddha-nature that pervades all existance. The Japanese Zen master Hakuin (1689-1796) considered the kensho experience to be absolutely essential. In his autobiography he says: "Anyone who would call himself a member of the Zen family must first achieve kensho-realization of the Buddha's way. If a person who has not achieved kensho says he is a follower of Zen, he is an outrageous fraud, a swindler pure and simple."

Hakuin's short text on kensho, "Four Ways of Knowing of an Awakened Person," is a little-known Zen Classic. Albert Low has provided careful, line-by-line commentary for the text that illuminates its profound wisdom and makes it an inspiration for deeper spiritual practice.
