Each chapter in Master Ma s Ordinary Mind offers Bellando s crystal-clear translation of one of Mazu s classic dialogues and then follows it with Dr. Yamada s gentle, encouraging commentary. Together, they guide us through the many layers of meaning in these koans, showing us what Mazu can mean for us today. This book is destined to become a classic collection alongside The Blue Cliff Record and The Gateless Gate.
InMaster Ma's Ordinary Mind, readers will learn the true nature of enlightenment from one of Zen's great teachers. Master Mazu's teachings help us to see how our own mind, just as it is, also functions as the mind of enlightenment. This, "ordinary mind," is the very expression of buddhanature."
