From instant enlightenment to conscious departure, the Sixth (and last) Patriarch of Ch an (Zen) Buddhism, Hui Neng, is the subject of Master of Zen. From the seventh Century AD, these stories, illuminating the Buddhist middle way, come to life with fresh translations by Tze-si Huang, a native of China and long-time Buddhist; black-and-white line drawings accompany the text on facing pages, illustrated by Huang s wife, noted children s book illustrator, Demi.The deceptively simple, though not necessarily easy, text and drawings trace the wisdom journey of Hui Neng in the Altar Sutra. Although poor and untutored, Hui Neng came into enlightenment in a marketplace when he overheard a monk chanting the Diamond Sutra. It s an inviting introduction for all spiritual seekers to drop deeply into the lessons of an enlightened master, considered the father of Zen.
