Ten Verses of Unfathomable Depths ~ Zen Buddhism

Ten Verses of Unfathomable Depths ~ Zen Buddhism

Tong'an Changcha, a Zen master from China, wrote the poem 'Ten Verses of Unfathomable Depth' in the tenth century. It is still considered to be among the most profound teachings within the Zen tradition. Changcha lived in the Jianchang county of the Hong region and was a master of the Dharma with lineage inherited from Jiufeng. Changcha's poem, “Ten Verses of Unfathomable Depth,” is the basis for the work Unfathomable Depths by Sekkei Harada that explores Sōtō theory and practice. The book uses Changcha's poem as a starting point to address questions about the nature of Dharma transmission, how to practice with koans, and how to understand the "just sitting" of Sōtō Zen.
