ISBN: 9781590303771 / Angielski / Miękka / 129 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kensho is the Zen experience of waking up to one's own true nature--of understanding oneself to be not different from the Buddha-nature that pervades all existence. The Japanese Zen Master Hakuin (1689-1769) considered the experience to be essential. In his autobiography he says: "Anyone who would call himself a member of the Zen family must first achieve kensho-realization of the Buddha's way. If a person who has not achieved kensho says he is a follower of Zen, he is an outrageous fraud. A swindler pure and simple."

Ten Gates: The Kong-An Teaching of Zen Master Seung Sahn
ISBN: 9781590304174 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Fear of koans keeps some people from ever giving Zen practice a try. But here, through the experience of seeing a modern Zen master work with his students, you can see what koan training is really like: It's a skillful, lively practice for attaining wisdom.
