“A masterpiece . . . It will be our inspiration for 10,000 years, not
just as itself but as a model for translations of other classics.”
—Robert Aitken, author of Taking the Path of Zen and The Gateless Barrier
“Entangling Vines is a wonderful book, a book to take if you are planning to be shipwrecked on a desert island; it is the book I open every day, and teach from every day. It's surprising, lucid, scholarly, alive, unassuming and it goes deep. Stories, questions and conversations, catalysts for the transformation at the core of Zen.” —John Tarrant, author of Bring Me the Rhinocerous and Other Koans That Will Save Your Life
“An excellent translation of an important collection.” —Taigen Dan Leighton, in Japanese Journal of Religious Studies
