About this book

One hundred days, one complete opportunity - to look at the way spiritual practice operates and life actually works. Robert Winson, poet and priest, and Miriam Sagan, poet and practitioner, spent a winter with their young daughter at a Zen Buddhist monastery in the mountains of Crestone, Colorado. While engaged there, each kept diaries and noted the events of their lives - neither compared their words. What resulted is a curious documentation via reflective analysis, rants, dreams, facts, marital strain, gossip, and honest exploration as to the dynamics of following the Dharma. Being aware can require us to come clean.

Walking the way

Robert Meikyo Rosenbaum

Walking the Way affirms that, like yin and yang, the flowing spontaneity of Tao and the precise simplicity of Zen find perfect balance with one another. Robert Meikyo Rosenbaum brings the two traditions together in a unique presentation that elicits Zen insights from his fresh interpretation of verses from the perennial Taoist classic, the Tao Te Ching. Personal anecdotes from Rosenbaum's life illustrate the dynamic potential of his approach, skillfully revealing Zen within the Tao and the Tao of Zen. -- Amazon.

The Hongzhou school and the development of Tang dynasty Chan Buddhism

Mario Poceski

"Under the leadership of Mazu Daoyi (709-788) and his numerous disciples, the Hongzhou school emerged as the dominant tradition of Chan (Zen) Buddhism in China during the middle part of the Tang dynasty (618-907). Mario Poceski offers a systematic examination of the Hongzhou school's momentous growth and rise to preeminence as the bearer of Chan orthodoxy, analyzing its doctrines against the backdrop of the intellectual and religious milieus of Tang China. Poceski demonstrates that the Hongzhou school represents the first emergence of an empire-wide Chan tradition that had strongholds throughout China and replaced the various fragmented schools of early Chan with an inclusive orthodoxy."--Jacket.
