Kenneth Kraft did a great job compiling several original essays. Some of them, written by Buddhist scholars, cover an early history of Ch'an in China, the development of Japanese Zen, Zen poetry, Zen in America, and so on. Some, written by Zen masters and practitioners, offer an internal perspective on Zen, including chapters on zazen (Zen meditation), private meetings with a master, Zen Koans, and so on.
