About this listen

In The Shamanic Bones of Zen, celebrated author and Buddhist teacher Zenju Earthlyn Manuel undertakes a rich exploration of the connections between contemporary Zen practice and shamanic, or indigenous, spirituality. Drawing on her personal journey with the Black church, with African, Caribbean, and Native American ceremonial practices, and with Nichiren and Zen Buddhism, she builds a compelling case for cultivating the shamanic, or magical, elements in Buddhism - many of which have been marginalized by colonialist and modernist forces in the religion. The book conveys guidance for listeners interested in Zen practice including ritual, preparing sanctuaries, engaging in chanting practices, and deepening embodiment with ceremony.

This special audiobook edition includes chants recorded by the author herself, offering a rare invitation to the profound soundscape of ritual Zen chanting.

distracted by mispronounced words.

the author of this book is amazing, however, the reader of this book is a major detraction from the experience. A large number of Buddhist words are consistently mispronounced. Those who know Buddhism will be horribly distracted by these pointless mistakes, and those new to the tradition will be misinformed about how to use the very language that communicates it.
