In this first comprehensive study of ?ich’?n’s life and work in English, Richard McBride presents translations of select lectures, letters, essays, and poetry from The Collected Works to provide a more balanced view of ?ich’?n’s philosophy of life and understanding of key Buddhist teachings. The translations center on the monk’s activities in the pan-East Asian Buddhist world and his compilation of scholarly texts, writings related to his interactions with royalty, and correspondence with his Chinese mentor, Jinshui Jingyuan (1011–1088). By incorporating ?ich’?n’s work associated with doctrinal Buddhism and his poetry, McBride clearly shows that even in his most personal work ?ich’?n did not abandon Hwa?m teachings for those of the Ch’?nt’ae but rather he encouraged monks to blend the best learning from all doctrinal traditions with meditative practice.
