Gathered together by Wu-men (Mumon), a thirteenth-century master of the Lin-chi (Rinzai) school, it is composed of forty-eight koans, or cases, each accompanied by a brief comment and poem by Wu-men.Robert Aitken, one of the premier American Zen masters, has translated Wu-men's text, supplementing the original with his own commentary -- the first such commentary by a Western master -- making the profound truths of Zen Buddhism accessible to serious contemporary students and relevant to current social concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52342362472736,"sku":"USED0865474427","price":25.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71YO0V15ytL.jpg?v=1789171523","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-gateless-barrier-the-wu-men-kuan-mumonkan-0865474427-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
