520    "In this landmark anthology of some two dozen translations,
       celebrated translator David Hinton shows how Ch'an 
       (Japanese: Zen)-too long considered a perplexing but 
       mainstream school of Chinese Buddhism-was in truth a 
       Buddhist-inflected form of Taoism, China's native system 
       of spiritual philosophy. The texts in The Way of Ch'an 
       build from seminal Taoism through the "Dark-Enigma 
       Learning" literature and on to the most important pieces 
       from all stages of the classical Ch'an tradition. Through 
       this steadily deepening and transformative reading 
       experience, readers will see the profound and intricate 
       connections between native Chinese philosophy, Taoism, and
       Ch'an. Contemporary Zen students and practitioners will 
       never see their tradition in the same way again"--
