Being without self: Zen for the modern world

Jeff Shore

4.9/5 (34174 ratings)

Description:Being Without Self is based on lectures given during retreats worldwide, so they are inspiring, insightful and practical. This book provides an invaluable corrective to contemporary Buddhist and Zen practice, as well as a profound challenge to those of other faiths or no faith at all. Finally, a book on Zen Buddhism that speaks directly from –and points clearly to– the living source itself."From the outside, what do these questions look like? That's right, like some metaphysical, convoluted, abstract, esoteric, new age hocus-pocus. I can assure you, however, from inside – when it is your own living, burning doubt – it is most simple. Nay, unavoidable.But it's true: such questions are usually passed over. Is that because they are so esoteric or abstract? Or could it be because they are so damned close we fail to acknowledge them? If these questions still seem esoteric or complicated, perhaps that is because they have not yet been seen up close, seen into, seen through. Are they distant, or does self keep them at a distance?"Jeff Shore (1953) is Professor of Zen in the Modern World at the Rinzai Zen-affiliated Hanazono University in Kyoto, Japan. He has completed Zen practice in the Rinzai training monastery of Tofukuji in Kyoto after 25 years under the head abbot Keido Fukushima.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
