In "The Gateless Gate, " one of modern Zen Buddhism's uniquely influential masters offers classic commentaries on the Mumonkan, one of Zen's greatest collections of teaching stories. This translation was compiled with the Western reader in mind, and includes Koan Yamada's clear and penetrating comments on each case. Yamada played a seminal role in bringing Zen Buddhism to the West from Japan, going on to be the head of the Sanbo Kyodan Zen Community. "The Gateless Gate" would be invaluable if only for the translation and commentary alone, yet it's loaded with extra material and is a fantastic resource to keep close by: This book includes an in-depth introduction to the History of Zen Practice, lineage charts, Japanese-to-Chinese and Chinese-to-Japanese conversion charts for personal names, place names, and names of writings, plus, front- and back-matter from ancient and modern figures: Mumon, Shuan, Kubota Ji'un, Taizan Maezumi, Hugo Enomiya-Lasalle, and Yamada Roshi's son, Masamichi Yamada. "The Gateless Gate" is a wonderful inspiration for the Zen practitioner, and for those with a general interest in Zen Buddhism.

The Gateless Gate is a masterpiece in the Chan/Zen Buddhist tradition, and one of the greatest spiritual works in any tradition. Koun Yamada's translation and commentary is a masterpiece itself.
This is the finest translation of any great Buddhist work I have read. I count the Gateless Gate as important to me as the Tao Teh Ching, The Platform Sutra, The Way of the Bodhisattva, or Enlightenment in the Palm of your Hand.
Yamada's Gateless Gate? Don't enter your pilgrim's path without it!
