least palatable of vegetable rootsknow the meaning of life.'  \nTranslatedby Chao Tze-chiang  \nTHE PETER PAUPER PRESSMount Vernon·New York  \nCOPYRIGHT◎1959BYCHAOTZE-CHIANG  \nA CHINESE GARDEN OF SERENITYwritten by Hung Tzu-ch'eng ofthe Ming Dynasty,is a synthesisof important ideas of Zen Bud-dhism,Taoism and Confucianism.The author's own philosophy wasbased on Confucian idealism.Ina sense,this Chinese work canperhaps be compared withPascal's Pensees.  \nCultured Japanese are much givento the perusal of this book,andfind in it much to help their moraldiscipline and spiritual insight.Even Japanese who are engrossedin practical life are interested in it.  \nChao Tze-chiang has done wellin rendering these epigramsinto English.  \nDAISETZ TEITARO SuzuKI  \n# SNTRODUCTION\n\nTHE Discourses on Vegetable Roots(Ts'ai KenT'an)is a synthesis of some ideas of Buddhism,Taoism,and Confucianism,expressed in poeticepigrams for the pleasure and instruction ofthose who seek serenity.  \nThe book was written by Hung Tzu-ch'eng,also known as Hung Ying-ming.About Hung'slife we know very little.We do know that hewas alive in 1596,but when he was born andwhen he died cannot be ascertained.Accordingto a preface to the Discourses,he lived in Shun-tu County,Szechuan Province.As a youngman he led a dissipated life,but became a ZenBuddhist monk in middle age.He was a goodfriend of Yuan Liu-fen,the great historian,andof Yu K’ung-chien,a prominent figure in thepolitical controversy of 1593.He left us fivebooks in addition to the present one.  \nThe Discourses on Vegetable Roots musthave held strong interest for Chinese scholars,because three of them wrote books after thestyle and way of thinking of Hung Tzu-ch'eng.These three books are the Sweeping with aSword by Lu Shao-heng of the Ming dynasty,A Continuation to the Discourses on VegetableRoots by Shih Hsing-chai of the Ch'ing
