Opening a Mountain by Steven Heine
A translation with critical commentary of sixty Zen koans. The koans collected in this book tell of charismatic early Zen masters who sought to demonstrate their spiritual authority by establishing new temples.
Steven Heine should be commended for his effort to engage the issue of thaumaturgy and the ways in which Chan/Zen masters confronted indigenous religious traditions and practices in Opening a Mountain: Koans of the Zen MastersBuddhist Studies Review ... helpful for general reference to koans rather than being a new source to turn to for translated koans. Buddhist Studies Review There appears to be no Western academic who devotes more explicit attention to the study of koans (gongan) and koan literature than Steven Heine. Buddhist Studies Review
