The Record of Linji ~ Linji Yixuan ~ Zen Buddhism (Chan)

A reading of selected excerpts from the Record of Linji. The
Linji lu (Record of Linji) has been an essential text of Chinese
and Japanese Zen Buddhism for nearly a thousand years. A
compilation of sermons, statements, and acts attributed to the
great Chinese Zen master Linji Yixuan (d. 866), it serves as both
an authoritative statement of Zen’s basic standpoint and a
central source of material for Zen koan practice. Zen
practitioners cherish it for its unusual simplicity, directness,
and ability to inspire. Linji Yixuan ( died 866 CE) was the
founder of the Linji school of Chán Buddhism during Tang dynasty
China.
