metadata.value: Сertain Buddhist schools (Chan, Linji) took a sceptical attitude towards verbal transmission of
  awakening experience. But nevertheless language here wasn't marginalized — its potentional,
  its limits of expression were explored and skilfully used. In this article attention is drawn
  to gong-an — formally-derived-of-common-sense texts structured as questions/answers of a
  teacher and disciples — along with the strategy of this specific communication, its functioning
  in traditional and modern literature. The research aims at pointing out a visible connection
  between gong-an texts and Yu Jian's poem-play «Grammar discussion on “The Other Shore”»
  (1998) in terms of speaking about the other shore — the state of non-duality/awakening.
  Despite the fact that Yu Jian is a vivid figure of China's avant-garde poetic world, none of
  the Chinese, European or American researchers has yet touched upon the analysis of this
  poem-play, which seems important in terms of comprehending dynamic permeation of the
  tradition of gong-an texts into the composition of the poetic and dramatic work of Yu, where
  he touches on the question of describing the transcendental. Further analysis and comparison
  of gong-ans and Yu Jian's text makes it clear that the latter stylistically originates from a
  detailed description of different solutions to the gong-an about the other shore. As a result, Yu
  Jian's search for an articulation of the concept “the other shore” becomes rooted in Buddhist
  philosophy. This in its turn shows vitality of this tradition in the modern literary text.
