OPENING THE HAND OF THOUGHT:

APPROACH TO ZEN

KOSHO  UCHIYAMA

Translated by Shohaku Okumura and

Tom Wright

Edited by Jisho Cary Warner

Arkana

 

                        PUBLISHER’S NOTES

THE TEACHINGS OF A PRE-EMINENT ZEN MASTER

Wise, clear, and searching, Opening the Hand of Thought brings together the writings of an iconoclastic Japanese Zen master. Kòshò Uchiyama takes a more rational approach to transcendence, to the discovery of the unlimited depth of reality, and understands the self beyond our usual notions of who we are – the self that wholeheartedly lives out the truth of life. He attempts to answer the essential question. How do we bring Zen practice and our everday modern lives together into a fresh original expression of our life force? His book is a challenge to the  individual, an exploration of the relationship each of us has to ourself and to the world, and a spiritual journey infused with the wise humor of a respected and revered teacher.
