Introduction—Zen in Perspective
I want to thank you and commend you for downloading the book, Zen: How to Practice Zen Everywhere in Your Daily Life.
This book contains everything you need to know about Zen Buddhism to start using its wisdom in your daily life.
Opening the Door to Spirituality
Every religion started as a spiritual movement. A rare few individuals could feel that there was something more to life than the physically obvious, and strove to share their discoveries with others.
The spiritual realm is sufficiently different from the physical that all of our human languages prove inadequate to describe it. Each religion has its own approach to the spiritual, and yet many denominations of these religions have forgotten their spiritual roots, relying on dogma and tradition rather than any connection which transcends physical reality.
Zen Buddhism is known for going beyond words, with the very specific purpose of catapulting the student toward the indescribable.
Spiritual masters of the past have been able to leave their physical bodies and to walk the strands of space, sans corpus, in order to see their environment through non-physical eyes. Some have been able to levitate their bodies. Others have performed miracles of every possible sort.
There is no guarantee where your spiritual journey will lead you, but the very act of taking that journey will help you achieve a far greater, inner peace than you’ve ever known. While the physical becomes far less important, you will find yourself becoming far more responsible for those around you. This is the true aim of all spirituality and religion—to break down the walls of blindness which separate us and to bring us to the ultimate in true love—the unconditional compassion for one another.
What You Will Find in This Book
In the first chapter you will learn about Zen, what it is, and what it is like. But this is only a taste of this rich body of wisdom. From there, I will look at the roots of Zen in Buddhism and you will learn more about how those roots formed and became the fourth largest religious group (512 million) in the world, after Christianity (2,200 million), Islam (1,600 million), and Hinduism (1,100 million). I will not only look at some of the teachings of Buddha, but some of the history of the movement as it expanded to other countries and survived wars and other cultural upheavals.
Next, I look at Zen as a distinct part of Buddhism. I will follow its history through some of the same territories touched by the larger body of wisdom. You will come to understand how Zen differs
