{"product_id":"five-houses-of-zen-thomas-cleary-9781570622922","title":"The Five Houses of Zen","description":"For all its emphasis on the direct experience on insight without reliance on the products of the intellect, the Zen tradition has created a huge body of writings. Of this cast literature, the writings associated with the so-called Five Houses of Zen are widely considered to be preeminent. These Five Houses--which arose in China during the ninth and tenth centuries, often referred to as the Golden Age of Zen--were not schools or sects but styles of Zen teaching represented by some of the most outstanding masters in Zen history. The writing of these great Zen teachers are presented here, many translated for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Cleary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570622922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570622922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/1997 pg. 66","brand":"Thomas Cleary","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980110561535,"sku":"9781570622922","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_672a7746-8883-4ab3-ab83-3d45fa387d39.jpg?v=1683248454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/five-houses-of-zen-thomas-cleary-9781570622922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
