Description
xA collection of prose poems by Musan Cho Oh-hyun (1932-2018), celebrated poet-monk of the Nine Mountain school of Korean Zen.
In this collection of prose poems, Musan Cho Oh-hyun, renowned abbot of Baekdamsa, one of Korea's central Zen temples, innovates on a millenia-old Buddhist literary tradition going back to Buddhist classics like the Biographies of Eminent Monks. Tales from the Temple not only presents instructive and amusing anecdotes from the lives of famous monistics from Korea, Japan, and China, it also depicts the lives and concerns of the common people-undertakers, fish mongers, fishermen, blacksmiths, and farmers-in a way that critiques social hierarchy and particularly monastic pride.
