Kensho is the transformative glimpse of the true nature of all things. It is an
experience so crucial in Zen practice that it is sometimes compared to finding
an inexhaustible treasure because it reveals the potential that exists in each
moment for pure awareness free from the projections of the ego. Among the
selected Zen works are a number of important texts focusing on the profound
subtleties of this essential Zen awakening and the methods used in its
realization.
