In Japanese Zen, every activity in life, including the martial arts, ļ¬ower arrangement and serving tea, are considered a ļ¬eld for practicing inner control, meditation and inspiration, and can be termed the āWayā when practiced in this manner. In this book, Trevor Leggett collects together translations of texts relating to this phenomenon, and offers his own thoughts and observations on the subject. Part One presents Zen in the words of twentieth-century masters, and deals particularly with the koan or riddle system that developed in China. Part Two, 'Kamakura Zen', describes the warrior Zen of the ļ¬rst three hundred years in Japan. It contains the classic text, āOn Meditationā by the master Daikaku, who was one of the founders of Zen in Japan. Part Three covers āThe Kamakura Koansā and in Part Four 'The Ways' are presented by texts from traditional sources, including the so-called āsecret scrollsā, which were preserved in the schools of the Ways. Part Five presents extracts from the less cryptic parts of scrolls themselves, while Part Six includes some of the stories of the Ways in practice. These sections are accompanied by historical appendices and an index of names and technical terms.
