Overview
Himself a practitioner, Hershock (Asian studies, East-West Center, Honolulu) offers a philosophical introduction to the practice tradition of Chan Buddhism, the Chinese forebear of Korean Son and Japanese Zen. The school does not promise infinite bliss and completion, he warns, indeed insists there is ultimately nothing to gain. Rather, it teaches that the path of enlightenment is just ordinary mind.
