Pick it Up! Chan Stories to Inspire

This little book contains many of the largest figures of Chinese Chan and Japanese Zen Buddhism, and as the saying goes, “big impact happens in small packages.” The gōng’ans in this book are specifically chosen by Venerable Master Hsing Yun and he has provided commentary to offer us a clearer picture of the history and to relate it to our modern life. The stories themselves provide us a glimpse into the lives of these Chan Masters who have devoted themselves to the study of Buddhism, and through these stories, we can come to understand their compassion, directness, and sense of humor. It is hoped that you will draw inspiration from this book and “Pick it Up!” often.
