Download or read book Original Zen written by Eduardo Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-09 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen is a path away from dogmatic belief that leads to genuine spiritual knowledge. It is a meditative practice that opens to deeper knowledge of your inner nature, which is who and what you are at the very core of your being. We know that every human being has a human spirit. Knowledge of that spirit is the actual definition of spirituality. Zen is the search for one's own spiritual being and subsequent knowledge that comes from it. Every human being comes into this life with a large storehouse of built-in knowledge. But most people pass through this life without discovering that knowledge. A major part of Zen, however, consists of becoming open to that knowledge and turning it into personal wisdom. Original Zen is a practice of inner development that was taught by Bodhidharma, the world's greatest Zen master. Zen meditation is real meditation, the practice most likely to yield real-world benefits to the practitioner. Side benefits of a consistent practice of Zen are inner peace, discovering your purpose in life, and receiving Enlightenment. In this book, Zen monk Eduardo Mitchell gives clear definitions and a thorough understanding of Zen, and describes what it's like to live a true Zen life. Near the end of the book, he sets forth rudimentary step-by-step instructions for starting your practice of Zen meditation. The book is intended for beginners as well as more experienced seekers. Zen meditation helps to develop a quiet mind and inner calm, chiefly by learning to discipline the conscious mind and opening passages into the deep mind. There, the practitioner may discover a persistent joy, greater self-fulfillment, and a higher form of knowledge than human beings normally experience. Many practitioners also find reduced stress. They manage pain better, reduce suffering--and perhaps even end their suffering--with no drugs. A consistent Zen practice over time often produces noticeable anti-aging effects, especially when combined with yoga. Other books may teach you more about the history and lore of Zen. But Original Zen explains exactly and concisely what Zen is, how it works, and why. It teaches you how to establish and follow a practice of Zen meditation focused on inner discovery and enlightening experiences. The author is a meditation teacher who began his Zen practice over sixty years before writing this book. He has an advanced degree in psychology and has received post-graduate honors for his writing. Original Zen is a well-written book that has been professionally edited. It is well organized, has a table of contents in the front, a glossary of terms in the back, and is easy to read.

Download or read book Zen Inner Peace Volume Two written by Sheng Yen Chan Master and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chan masters of old times discovered the principles of Chan through their own practice and shared them with their disciples so that they too, could awaken to the essence through the teachings. In the TV series "Great Dharma Drum," which was first broadcast by Taiwan's Chinese Television System, modern-day Chan Master Sheng Yen, using accessible language and media technology, addressed questions posed by the host, Ms. Chen Yueqing. Using Chan wisdom and compassion, Master Sheng Yen provided easy-to-understand and practical guidance to address these questions that are commonly experienced by many in daily life. Many of the broadcasts were re-aired on New York City's educational Channel WNYE-TV as "Zen and Inner Peace." It is from that series that the name of this book is taken. Of the many broadcasts that were aired in New York, ten topics comprising 70 broadcasts were transcribed and translated into English to create the two volumes of Zen and Inner Peace. In February 2013, the Chan Meditation Center in Elmhurst, New York, published Volume One containing topics One through Five. The book was published as part of the annual "Passing of the Lamp" ceremony to commemorate the passing of Master Sheng-Yen on February 3, 2009. This book, Volume Two, presents topics Six through Ten. This rare treasure of a book abounds with wisdom, especially for those who are interested in learning and experiencing Chan and Buddhism. As buddha-nature is within all beings, this book expounds the meaning of "Life is Chan, and Chan is Life." Everyone can benefit by applying Chan wisdom and compassion in daily life, regardless of the complexity of their lives, their environments and interpersonal relationships, along with the associated stresses and conflicts. The more one learns and applies these principles, the more one benefits. At a minimum one can lessen their vexations, and then further oneself to achieve happiness with an eventual advance into the essence of Chan. May all readers of this book practice Chan at all times and benefit from the experience wherever they go.
