The classic guide for Zen students pursuing the true way. “Somebody comes into the Zen center with a lighted cigarette, walks up to the Buddha-statue, blows smoke in its face and drops ashes on its lap. You are standing there. What can you do?” This is a problem that Zen Master Seung Sahn was fond of posing to his American students who attended his Zen centers. Dropping Ashes on the Buddha is a delightful, irreverent, and often hilariously funny living record of the dialogue between Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn and his American students. Consisting of dialogues, stories, formal Zen interviews, Dharma speeches, and letters using the Zen Master’s actual words in spontaneous, living interaction, this book is a fresh presentation of the Zen teaching method of “instant dialogue” between Master and student which, through the use of astonishment and paradox, leads to an understanding of ultimate reality.
Ryokan is one of the most cherished figures of Zen and Japanese literature and, along with Basho, one of Zen writing's best-known figures. This is a collection of his poems, created by the man renowned for his beautiful verse and calligraphy, as well as his eccentricity of character.
Shikantaza--or "just sitting"--is one of the simplest, most subtle forms of meditation, and one of the most easily misunderstood. This peerless volume brings together a wealth of writings, from the Buddha himself to Bodhidharma and Dogen and many of modern Zen Buddhism's most influential masters, all pointing directly to the heart of this powerful practice. Edited by one of America's pre-eminent Zen teachers, this book is a rich resource for wisdom seekers and scholars alike.
The first book in the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
As the world around us ruptures in widespread frustration, anxiety and desperation, along comes a unique perspective that examines the seething discontent from the most fundamental level: The human mind. Whereas an ordinary analysis considers one piece at a time, this analysis follows an integrative source/manifestation path. What is it about us all that is causing this sudden eruption of political and economic unrest? Why do we find it so hard to live a life of moderation, harmony and justice but instead choose lives of alienation and conflict? Here youll read about finding worth within and thus over turning the rush to oblivion. The author examines these issues from the platform of the ancient wisdom of Zen and points to a solution, which is practical, transformative yet at the same time revolutionary.
The much-anticipated final installment in the Prince of Typgar trilogy, Nujran and the Temporal Traversal, continues the pathbreaking adventure that began with Monks of Meirar, and took flight with Corpse in the Quadrangle. Nujran matures from being a spoilt child at the palace in Typgar to a swashbuckling hero at the University of Western Foalinaarc. We begin the third book in Nadii, where Nujran is an exchange student at the University of Dramsa. He realizes, to his surprise, that he is bursting with potential, and is gifted with a repertoire of special abilities. The prince is soon joined by the maestro Amsibh, and they set off to Inchea on a quest for the fugitives Yarozin and Hoanan. But their well-laid plans are sabotaged by constant threats to their lives by forces unseen. Shepherded by the wise Amsibh's innovative thinking and avuncular guidance, a brilliant scheme is hatched to save the planet and restore peace and tranquility to this universe. Passionate romance, heart-thumping action, and stealthy intrigue are aplenty in this fast-paced final novel as we follow our heroes and villains across Syzegis. A truly fitting conclusion to an amazing trilogy.
