The author used "Zen and Zen Classics, Vol 1" by R. H. Blyth for this quote. You can research there, if you like.

That said, I will just remind everyone to avoid getting hung up on words. That's a rabbit hole that will take one far from seeing the true nature of reality. That's pretty much all they do over on /r/zen - and we've all seen where that leads. :)

> How/where did you find a copy of the Blyth?

Vol 1: https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Classics-Upanishads-Huineng-ebook/dp/B0092XAGKK/ref=sr_1_1 — this was not easy to find, for some strange reason.

Vol 2: I've recently bought a used copy and it's on the way.

Vol 3: I don't have it and couldn't find it anywhere. If you happen to have a digital version I'd be interested in seeing it. 🤔

Vol 4: https://terebess.hu/zen/MumonkanBlyth.pdf

Vol 5: I was never particularly interested in finding this one.

> What led you to the Ferguson? Did you know the Ferguson was actually a text he basically just translated without crediting the author much?

Many times while doing research online I'd stumble upon this book. So I grabbed a free sample from Amazon, took a look at the table of contents and I was like FUCK YEAH.

Who's the real author?

Also while we're talking books, the other one I have on the way is Sun-Face Buddha. I also have a PDF of it but I hate PDFs.
