Shattering the Great Doubt: The Chan Practice of Huatou
ISBN: 9781590306215 / Angielski / Miękka / 1 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Huatou" is a skillful method for breaking through the prison of mental habits into the spacious mind of enlightenment. The huatou is a confounding question much like a Zen koan. Typical ones are "What is "wu" nothingness]?" or "What was my original face before birth-and-death?" But a huatou is "unlike" a koan in that the aim is not to come up with an answer. The practice is simple: ask yourself your huatou relentlessly, in meditation as well as in every other activity. Don't give up on it; don't try to think your way to an answer. Resolve to live with the sensation of doubt that arises, and...
