Singing of Scented Grass, with its timeless poetry from ancient China, bridges the gap across centuries and cultures with its longing for the simplicity of the Way. These beautiful translations of Tang dynasty poets speak to the heart. accompanied by the Chinese text for most of the poems, illustrated by Chan-style brush paintings, and with an underlying spirit of Zen Buddhism, this is a book that will delight the senses and stir the emotions.
