Summary

The Record of Transmitting the Light traces the generation-to-generation inheritance of the Buddha's enlightenment through successive masters of the Dharma. Written by Keizan Zenji, a seminal figure in the Japanese Zen tradition comparable only to the great master Dogen, its significance as a historical and religious document is unquestionable. The Record of Transmitting the Light serves as a testament to our own capacity to awaken to a life of freedom, wisdom, and compassion. Book jacket.
