DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt is interesting to learn that the Philosophy of Zen is to experience Our Real state without any philosophizing & theorizing. The basic concept of Zen can be attributed to Mahayana Buddhism & Taoism. Even though Zen originated in China, later it was spread to many parts of the World, mainly Japan, Korea & other neighboring countries. Zen is mainly concerned about the direct Experiencing of One's Own Self, without any descriptions. Zen is actually focusing on our Inner Being, without the help of Intellect & Logical Thinking. Actually, Zen emphasizes on the Perception of our Reality - Our Self, in the most easiest & quickest way. Really, Zen is Pure Awareness & Aliveness. Sudden Enlightenment or Satori is the basic nature of Zen. In Zen, the use of paradoxes to bypass our Mental Blocks & Confusion is very common. In Zen there are no concepts & belief systems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor over thirty years, Opening the Hand of Thought has offered an introduction to Zen Buddhism and meditation unmatched in clarity and power. This is the revised edition of Kosho Uchiyama's singularly incisive classic. This new edition contains even more useful material: new prefaces, an index, and extended endnotes, in addition to a revised glossary. As Jisho Warner writes in her preface, Opening the Hand of Thought "goes directly to the heart of Zen practice... showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity." She goes on to say, "Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life." By turns humorous, philosophical, and personal, Opening the Hand of Thought is above all a great book for the Buddhist practitioner. It's a perfect follow-up for the reader who has read Zen Meditation in Plain English and is especially useful for those who have not yet encountered a Zen teacher.

Seek what they sought” —Bashō New material is taken from contemporary spiritual leaders, writers, meditation teachers, and others with an emphasis on the practice of mindfulness—on the heart, rather than the head.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe perfect gift for fans of The Big Lebowski, Jeff Bridges's "The Dude", and anyone who could use more Zen in their lives. Zen Master Bernie Glassman compares Jeff Bridges’s iconic role in The Big Lebowski to a Lamed-Vavnik: one of the men in Jewish mysticism who are “simple and unassuming,” and “so good that on account of them God lets the world go on.” Jeff puts it another way. “The wonderful thing about the Dude is that he’d always rather hug it out than slug it out.” For more than a decade, Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges and his Buddhist teacher, renowned Roshi Bernie Glassman, have been close friends. Inspiring and often hilarious, The Dude and the Zen Master captures their freewheeling dialogue and remarkable humanism in a book that reminds us of the importance of doing good in a difficult world.
