The Japanese texts translated here give a fascinating picture of actual Zen life - the life of the traditional temple training, with many stories and a number of historical incidents connected with Zen masters. The main text is the important commentary by a contemporary Soto Zen abbot on the Heart Sutra - the shortest and most difficult sutra in Mahayana Buddhism. Then comes a translation of the Yasen Kanna, a short autobiographical piece by Hakuin, the Japanese Zen teacher, monk and poet who revitalized Rinzai Zen in the eighteenth century. The remaining texts show what Zen means in Japan today.

Drawn from the rich variety of the Buddhist tradition, the stories convey a sense of inner freedom. We see ordinary people liberate themselves from anger and grief, and great teachers remain free even in the face of death. Vessantara's commentary shows us how we can move towards that freedom in our own lives. Stories have the power to transform us as we enter their world. The wisdom of these beautifully told stories can teach us how to break out of our self-imposed mental prisons - and roam free.

Even worse, she had offended someone she shouldn't have. Three years later, she came back as the Asia Pacific director of a certain corporate tycoon group. When they met again, she was surrounded by handsome men, while he was surrounded by beautiful women. Ignoring her wishes, he pulled her along and danced. he whispered in her ear, holding her waist. " "You're Su Rao?" She leaned on his shoulder obediently and gave a calm chuckle. "Are you referring to the former Eldest Miss of the Su Group? Mr. Song, I'm really sorry, you got the wrong person. My name is Wenni Jian. " Meet again at the hotel. He pressed her hard against the wall of the ladies' room. " Ten million, you're my lover for half a year! " She smiled elegantly as her mockery was obvious, "Mr. Song, is this the old-fashioned method you use to woo women?" She lifted his chin playfully. "Twenty million, get the hell out of my way!" He said, "Su Rao, you're the only woman I can't let go of in my life." He said, "Wenni, with a word from you, I will be with you to the end of my life." ***

Uncovering the Codes: Fifteen Keywords in Korean Culture is a cultural guide to what is unique about Koreans and their way of life. The questions raised in this book range from the mundane to the spiritual, each touching on the essence of Korea's 5,000-year-old culture: Why is a Korean spoon flat and round, not oval? Why do Korean women pray to a bowl of water? Why do Koreans eat dog meat? Kim Yol-kyu, a renowned scholar of Korean folklore and literature, carefully digs up the answers embedded deep in centuries-old customs. Quoting from a wide scope of references, from ancient mythology to Merleau-Ponty and Levi-Strauss, Kim unearths the fascinating connections between the past and the present. Kim is Dignified Professor of Korean Studies at Keimyung University in Daegu, Korea, where he also directs the Academia Koreana.
