This cluster works through the Zen tradition seriously: the core practices (zazen, shikantaza, kōan, huàtóu, kinhin, samu), the canonical texts (Heart Sūtra, Diamond Sūtra, Platform Sūtra, Shōbōgenzō), the historical figures (Bodhidharma, Huìnéng, Zhàozhōu, Línjì, Dōgen), and the specific kōan cases that define the tradition. Written for readers who want the actual tradition rather than Zen-flavored wellness content.
