Description
‘Essence of Zen Buddhism’ was annotated by Hyeongak, a monk of Tang, who interpreted the Zen doctrine in simple terms for people to easily understand it. There are many Korean annotations of the Zen from the Joseon Dynasty. Being a woodblock-printed book on mulberry paper, it is bound as one volume with a length of 26.9cm and a width of 16.6cm. According to the publication record on the last page, it was published by Yi Inrin, Gangnul and Damyeo, who printed it from woodblocks in Cheongnyongsa Temple in the 7th year of the reign of King Uh (1381). It gives an accurate account of how the book was made and moreover, it is printed clearly.
