Overview

What is the way of Zen in Vietnam? Is there only one answer, or many? Should the answer be a wordless gesture? Who has the authority to answer those questions?This book is written to give a glimpse of the way of Zen in Vietnam. Personally, I am nobody. Though I have studied and practiced Zen for nearly half a century, I feel I will always remain a student of Zen. Readers can find many of the sentences here in some books of Buddhism in Vietnam; some are my memories of the things I've read or heard. The comments and the English translation in this book are mine; otherwise will be indicated.Three of those I am indebted to are Zen Master Thich Thanh Tu, Prof. Le Manh That, and researcher Tran Dinh Son. In this book, I use many poems that were translated into modern Vietnamese language by the three scholars above. The ancient Zen masters in Vietnam wrote poems in the Chinese and Nom languages. At times, I paraphrase poems into simple prose to make them easier to understand.This book is not for profit. You are free to copy or reproduce noncommercially.
