ISBN: 9781590306185 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bring Me the Rhinoceros is an unusual guide to happiness and a can opener for your thinking. For fifteen hundred years, Zen koans have been passed down through generations of masters, usually in private encounters between teacher and student. This book deftly retells more than a dozen traditional koans, which are partly paradoxical questions dangerous to your beliefs and partly treasure boxes of ancient wisdom. Koans show that you don't have to impress people or change into an improved, more polished version of yourself. Instead you can find happiness by unbuilding, unmaking, throwing...

Zen Buddhism: Beliefs and Practices
ISBN: 9781902210421 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Informed by almost two decades of dialogue, research, and teaching, this book refutes the mistaken premise that Zen Buddhism is more suited to people who lived long ago, or at least live far away. Pivotal to this work is recognition that Buddhism is a mind culture. To appreciate that one is not in control of one s own mind is alarming indeed, but it is perceptions of real and imagined threats that generate anxieties, not an objective appraisal of the situation. Beginning with the annotated ox path pictures, the gradual development of the wayward mind away from aimless wandering and toward...

Fathering Your Father: The Zen of Fabrication in Tang Buddhism
ISBN: 9780520254855 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a provocative rereading of the early history of Chan Buddhism (Zen). Working from a history-of-religions point of view that asks how and why certain literary tropes were chosen to depict the essence of the Buddhist tradition to Chinese readers, this analysis focuses on the narrative logics of the early Chan genealogiesthe seventh-and eighth-century lineage texts that claimed that certain high-profile Chinese men were descendents of Bodhidharma and the Buddha. This book argues that early Chan's image of the perfect-master-who-owns-tradition was constructed for reasons that...

Zongmi on Chan
ISBN: 9780231143929 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Japanese Zen often implies that textual learning (gakumon) in Buddhism and personal experience (taiken) in Zen are separate, but the career and writings of the Chinese Tang dynasty Chan master Guifeng Zongmi (780-841) undermine this division. For the first time in English, Jeffrey Broughton presents an annotated translation of Zongmi's magnum opus, the Chan Prolegomenon, along with translations of his Chan Letter and Chan Notes. The Chan Prolegomenon persuasively argues that Chan "axiom realizations" are identical to the teachings embedded in...

Zen Stories: The Art Of Presentness
ISBN: 9781440482335 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The focus of Zen, its main purpose is to take us back to that long forgotten state of mind where the present moment becomes the primary one again, and everything else secondary, if of any importance at all. This shift of consciousness is nothing more than returning to our natural way of perceiving the world around us, the way we used to when we were little children. Back then we had very short past, hence not much of a conceivable future either, this way being able to live our lives with a certain sense of presentness, something we have managed to forget somewhere along the way.
