Book Synopsis Zen for Dummies by : Lamberto García del Cid
Download or read book Zen for Dummies written by Lamberto García del Cid and published by LAMBERTO GARCÍA. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beautiful nonsense sayings in clothes of anti-reason, the koans, are for me the biggest attraction of Zen. However, my readings of texts about Zen philosophy have taught me that koans, being the most attractive part of this peculiar subject, is the less abundant. With the idea of making the most entertaining and instructive part of Zen wisdom accessible to readers like myself, I have collected all the dialogues, riddles and paradoxical phrases I've found in the many books that I've read about Zen and surrounding areas and I have written them down in a simply way, avoiding metaphysical adornments. The result, gentle reader, is this book that you have in your hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Como en otras muchas culturas, en Corea la literatura oral en lengua autóctona es muy anterior a sus formas escritas en chino o en hangul, la escritura coreana, y, con el paso del tiempo, constituyó uno de los fermentos que dieron vida a la literatura escrita. Postergados durante largo tiempo, los estudios de la tradición oral en la actualidad reciben la atención que les corresponde por parte de investigadores y académicos, recuperando así un sitio privilegiado en el canon de la literatura clásica coreana.
Book Synopsis Zen: The Special Transmission by : Osho
Download or read book Zen: The Special Transmission written by Osho and published by Fivestar. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We enter today into the very special world of Zen. It is very special because it is the most ordinary state of consciousness – that’s its specialty. The ordinary mind always wants to be extraordinary; it is only the extraordinary mind who relaxes into ordinariness. It is only the exceptional who is ready to relax and rest into the ordinary. The ordinary always feels inferior; out of that inferiority complex he tries to be special. The special need not make any effort to be special – he is special. There is no inferiority complex in him. He is not suffering from any emptiness. He is so full, overflowing, that he can be just whatsoever he is.
Download or read book The Five Houses of Zen written by and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 1997-04-15 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all its emphasis on the direct experience of insight without reliance on the products of the intellect, the Zen tradition has created a huge body of writings. Of this cast literature, the writings associated with the so-called Five Houses of Zen are widely considered to be preeminent. These Five Houses—which arose in China during the ninth and tenth centuries, often referred to as the Golden Age of Zen—were not schools or sects but styles of Zen teaching represented by some of the most outstanding masters in Zen history. The writings of these great Zen teachers are presented here, many translated for the first time. These include: • The sayings of Pai-chang, famous for his Zen dictum "A day without work, a day without food" • Selections from Kuei-shan’s collection of Zen admonitions, considered essential reading by numerous Buddhist teachers • Sun-chi’s unique discussion of the inner meaning of the circular symbol in Zen teaching • Sayings of Huang-po from The Essential Method of Transmission of Mind • Excerpts from The Record of Lin-chi, a great classical text of Zen literature • Ts’ao-shan’s presentation of the famous teaching device known as the Five Ranks • Selections of poetry from the Cascade Collection by Hsueh-tou, renowned for his poetic commentaries on the classic Blue Cliff Record • Yung-ming’s teachings on how to balance the two basic aspects of meditation: concentration and insight
Download or read book Zen Naikan written by Leonardo Anfolsi and published by Fontana Editore. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While we have invented technological prostheses external ourselves, thanks to the current materialist mentality, Zen Naikan encourages us to become our own internal source of passion, strength, awareness and freedom. The word naikan was used by Master Hakuin Ekaku only three centuries ago to define expressly a method of cultivating energy associated with a new concept of dynamic meditation practice, suited both to laymen leading a life active in society as well as to practicing monks. Zen Naikan brings to those who practice it harmonious well-being, continuous joy, and the most solid aid to healing, encouraging the highest form of spiritual realization. Zen Naikan is a gift of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, from the monks and laymen dedicated to developing spiritual, mental, and physical strength.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Among Buddhist leaders influential in the West, Thich Nhat Hanh ranks second only to the Dalai Lama.” —New York Times “Thich Nhat Hanh is a holy man…. His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity.” —Martin Luther King, Jr., nominating Thich Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967.

Book Synopsis The Finger and the Moon by : Alejandro Jodorowsky
Download or read book The Finger and the Moon written by Alejandro Jodorowsky and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jodo’s interpretations of the stories and koans of Zen master Ejo Takata • Offers more than 60 Zen teaching tales, initiatory stories, koans, and haikus for self-realization and spiritual awakening • Each story or koan is accompanied by the author’s lucid and penetrating commentary, blending the same burlesque slapstick and sublime insight that characterize his films • Explains how one must see beyond the words of the story to grasp the spiritual insights they contain Before he became the film maker and graphic novel author known throughout the world today, Alejandro Jodorowsky studied with Zen master Ejo Takata in Mexico City. In The Finger and the Moon, Jodorowsky recounts how he became Takata’s student and offers his interpretations of the teaching tales, initiatory stories, koans, and enigmatic haikus he learned at the feet of his great and humble teacher. Blending the same burlesque slapstick and sublime insight that characterize his films such as El Topo and The Holy Mountain, each story is accompanied by the author’s lucid and penetrating commentary, as well as insights from ancient Zen teachers. Yet their most significant gift to the reader is the sudden shock of realization they impart that can lead to spiritual awakening. Jodorowsky notes that most people are incapable of self-realization because of their fear of the void within, an emptiness they seek to fill with noise and chatter. He shows that Zen teachings can be compared to a finger pointing at the moon, directing you to awaken to your true nature--the Buddha within. The danger lies in mistaking the pointing finger for the moon, mistaking the words for the essential enlightenment, which can only be grasped once words have been surpassed. Unlike most tales, these stories are intended to evoke silent illumination--as true awakening and self-realization cannot occur until the mind has been stilled.
Book Synopsis The Little Zen Companion by : David Schiller
Download or read book The Little Zen Companion written by David Schiller and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 1994-01-02 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it seeks neither to define Zen nor answer its most famous koan (a riddle unanswerable by conventional thinking, in this case the sound of one hand clapping), this bestselling little book with 437,000 copies in print possesses a maverick Zen spirit that points to a different way of looking at the world. With each page featuring a quote, phrase, story, koan, haiku, or poem, Zen Companion combines the feeling and format of a meditation book with 2,500 years of wisdom-from Lao-tzu and Groucho Marx, William Carlos Williams and The Little Prince, D. T. Suzuki and Walker Percy, the Buddha and the Bible, Einstein and Gertrude Stein. It's a celebration of intuition: "If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his eyes and walk in the dark"-St. John the Cross. Individuality: "Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought."-Basho. Uncomplicated nature: "Among twenty snowy mountains/The only moving thing/Was the eye of the blackbird."-Wallace Stevens. Childlike spontaneity: "Goodnight stars. Goodnight air."-Margaret Wise Brown. Irreverent paradox: "Wakuan complained when he saw a picture of bearded Bodhidharma: 'Why hasn't that fellow a beard?'" And above all, the simple pleasure of life lived in the moment. "Chop wood, carry water."

Download or read book Zen written by Alan Watts and published by Curtea Veche Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cititorul occidental pătrunde într-o lume fascinantă, cu totul nouă și se familiarizează fără efort cu idei, mentalități și concepții artistice complet diferite de acelea cu care a fost obișnuit. Watts este, probabil, cel mai important interpret occidental al gândirii orientale pentru lumea contemporană. – The New York Times Opera fundamentală a unui mare gânditor religios. – San Francisco Book Review Fost preot anglican devenit erudit al zenului, Watts este în același timp un stilist desăvârșit; deși glasul și râsul său celebru ne lipsesc acum, ne-a rămas viziunea sa pătrunzătoare asupra budismului, iar cuvintele lui s-au transformat în literatură de înaltă clasă. – Publishers Weekly O carte deja clasică, Zen este una dintre cele mai cunoscute introduceri în acest curent de gândire asiatic. Și, totodată, una cât se poate de accesibilă și sintetică. În doar câteva capitole scurte, în care plasează zenul în contextul mai larg al spiritualității Orientului Îndepărtat, Alan Watts redă cu o limpezime remarcabilă principalele trăsături ale unei filozofii al cărei caracter esențial este voit paradoxal, obscur și ambiguu.

Book Synopsis Ancient Music in the Pines by : Osho
Download or read book Ancient Music in the Pines written by Osho and published by Osho Media International. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind, and as never before, there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. Osho brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories. He shows us that Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them. It is a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis. Zen is for those intelligent enough to understand the limitations of the intellect and ready to recognize the significance of intuition in the world of mysticism.
