PDF: Zen Echoes: Classic Koans with Verse Commentaries by Three Female Zen Masters, 2017

This is a translation of a work that in Chinese is titled Songgu hexiang ji
頌 古合響集 or The Concordant Sounds Collection of Verse Commentaries.
Verse commentaries, or songgu 頌古, are poems inspired by stories or
kōans about buddhas, bodhisattvas, and above all, the great Chan (Zen)
masters of the classical period. They were composed primarily by Chan
masters, the vast majority of whom historically have been male. The verses
in this collection, however, are unique in that they were composed by three
female Chan masters, Chan master Miaozong 妙總 (1095–1170)*
and Chan Masters Baochi 寶持 and Zukui 祖揆 from the seventeenth.

*Chan Buddhist masters normally have several names. Miaozong, for example, is also referred to as
Wuzhuo Miaozong 無著妙總 or Zeshou Miaozong 資壽妙總; Baochi as Baochi Jizong 寶持濟總 or
Baochi Xuanzong 寶持玄總; and Zukui as Zukui Jifu 祖揆濟符. In order to avoid confusion, I have
chosen to refer to them in this book simply as Miaozong, Baochi, and Zukui.
