The Letters of Chan Master Dahui Pujue - Smashing the Mind of Samsara

Dahui's Letters is a compilation of letters of the Linji Chan teacher Dahui Zonggao (1089-1163) to forty scholar-officials and two Chan masters. Each of the letters to laymen is fascinating as a document directed at a specific scholar-official with his distinctive social niche and relative level of spiritual development. Dahui's style of practice became dominant throughout East Asia.
