The Embossed Tea Kettle (Orategama)
遠羅天釜 (Orategama) y 遠羅天釜続集 (Orategama zokushū)
Letter-treatises on practice in the midst of activity, meditation on the kōan, the naikan remedy for Zen sickness and the relation between Zen and invoking Amida's name. The title, “embossed tea kettle”, alludes to a rough, useful object. It is the classic gateway to his teaching for lay people.
