• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Zen as the ideal path for those who have left institutional religion behind



Do you feel there is something more to be found in life? Is there something more for your life? Traditionally people turn to religions to find that more.



Today, when cultures are in upheaval and traditional religions are collapsing, a prominent Zen teacher explores the possibility of a spirituality at the heart of all religions.



Zen at the End of Religion is a brief introduction to Zen as a practical expression of perennial wisdom, a naturalistic perennialism.



The book offers a simple introduction to the core of Zen's why and how. While Zen is a rich and varied tradition, this introduction focuses on the essentials, the foundations of the Zen way. This book explores the Four Noble Truths, the Two Truths, the Ten Ox Herding Pictures, Zen meditation, samadhi, koans, enlightenment, and more.



When I hear James Ford's words, something in me wakes up. He has the rare ability to communicate something that is much larger than himself. We are all lucky to be in contact with this gift. Gesshin Claire Greenwood, author of Bow First, Ask Questions Later
