Zen Buddhism

In clear words, Zen Master Zensho W. Kopp shows us in an inspiring way how we can see through the deceptive nature of our concepts so that we rise up above our self-made limitations. Through this we transcend our identification with the unreal and reach the absolute reality of our true self. We experience a liberating transformation to a deeper and all-embracing universal consciousness and thus to freedom of the mind.

Zen Master Man Gong (1872-1946) received transmissions from Zen Master Kyong Ho, and is a towering figure in modern Korean Zen. He was a pioneer in teaching Zen Buddhism to laypeople, and played a central role in re-establishing the Buddhist tradition in Korea after centuries of suppression during the Chosun dynasty. Zen Master Man Gong was the grand teacher of Zen Master Seung Sahn (1927-2004), the founder of the international Kwan Um School of Zen. In keeping with the Zen tradition, the exchanges between Man Gong and his students have exercised considerable influence on Zen students as teaching vehicles.

Mit diesem #1 Bestseller Glück und Zufriedenheit finden. In diesem Buch stellt die Autorin Shiva Singh verschiedene inspirierende Geschichten aus dem Buddhismus vor. Die Geschichten erlauben dem Leser eine neue Sicht auf Glück und Zufriedenheit einzunehmen, die zum Nachdenken und Überdenken einladen. Meistens liegt die Antwort des Glücks in einem selbst und nicht in der Umgebung. Dafür muss der Mensch allerdings alles vergessen und loslassen, was er bisher gelernt und gehört hat. Glück ist letztlich nämlich einfach nur eine Frage der Perspektive.

"Wir müssen aus dem tiefsten Nichtdenken heraus denken (...) das Optimum, das Bersten, der Orgasmus des Bewusstseins, das Jenseits-des-Denkens, das absolute, kosmische, universale, globale Denken (...) tritt unbewusst, natürlich und automatisch ein." (Taisen Deshimaru, Zen-Meister). Der Geist wird in einem Moment ganz plötzlich unendlich weit und löst sich im großen Ganzen auf: Was könnte die Erfahrung der Erleuchtung besser beschreiben, als das Bild einer Explosion in die Unendlichkeit.

Howard Fast began to formally practice Zen meditation after turning away from communism in 1956. The Art of Zen Meditation, originally published by the antiwar political collective Peace Press, in 1977, is the fruit of Fast’s study: a brief and instructive history of Zen Buddhism and its tenets, written with a simplicity that is emblematic of the philosophy itself. Fast’s study of Zen also inspired his popular Masao Masuto mystery series about a Zen Buddhist detective in Beverly Hills.

Depuis l'origine, le conte Zen est un "moyen habile", un chemin privilégié pour accéder à la connaissance du Zen. Je n'ai inventé aucun des récits qui sont présentés ici.

Mon propos fut de rendre accessible le conte brut venu d'ailleurs, sans que le Zen y perde son âme.
