About The Book Of Serenity: Volume I
The Book of Serenity is a classic text of Chan Buddhism, composed on the model of the famous Blue Cliff Record. It consists of one hundred excerpts from Chan and pan-Buddhist lore, with introductions, commentaries, and poetic renderings of the essential points of the excerpts. The material ranges from explicit instructions on meditation method and inductive exercises in attention, concentration, and observation, to aphorisms illustrating elements of basic sanity, mental balance, and practical wisdom for everyday life.
