For over a thousand years, Yung-chia's Song of Enlightenment has been a widely popular Zen text throughout all of East Asia. Composed in verse, it has also become one of the most chanted texts at Zen temples worldwide. Like most good poetry, Yung-chia’s song leaves more unsaid than it says and encourages readers to fill in the blanks. Over the centuries, thousands of monks and scholars have tried to fill in those blanks with lectures and commentaries. Renowned translator Red Pine adds to this long conversation in his lively volume.
