About this listen
"The sons and grandsons of the Eastern Sea grow more by the day."
In 1267 the old abbot of Mount Jing gave this verse to a Japanese monk sailing home. The monk was Nanpo Shōmyō, and from him came Daitokuji, Myōshinji, Ikkyū, Hakuin, and nearly the whole of Rinzai Zen.
Xutang Zhiyu, "Empty Hall", known in Japan as Kidō, was the Chinese master who sent his line across the sea. This is his record complete in English: ten fascicles of sermons, encounters, verses on the old cases, a hundred substitute answers, eulogies on every ancestor of his line, letters to his Japanese students, and his last verse at eighty-five: "I swing my arms and go, and the great void leaves no trace."
Zen Classics, Volume III. Translated from the Chinese, with an introduction, glossary, bibliography and index, by Rob Newton M.D.
