Accessible introduction to a difficult write about topic。

Wax for the moon to which it pointsFor students of Zen or Taoism, you may not ‘learn’ a lot of new things。 And yet, you will better see what you know。 I can’t imagine a better explantation of Zen。

James Kelly

The pupil approached the Master as he was sitting eating rice。 "I am very discouraged", said the pupil。The Master, without looking up, answered immediately, "Encourage others"。 The pupil approached the Master as he was sitting eating rice。 "I am very discouraged", said the pupil。The Master, without looking up, answered immediately, "Encourage others"。 。。。more

Interesting essays on Zen Buddhism, but not very accessible as an introduction。 Often seems it’s primary role is to distinguish Zen (and Japanese) Buddhism from other historical and current forms。 Still, I have a better sense of Zan Buddhism and will follow up with something with a novice in mind as an audience。

“When your mind is not dwelling on the dualism of good and evil, what is your original face before you were born?”

Can’t say I understand what Zen is any better after reading this。 If I did, the book probably wasn’t accurate。 So, ignoring my ignorance, here’s what I got out of it。 Zen is like water, we are all the same water and all connected。 We flow without purpose and change the world in our wake。 When you go with both your flow and the flow of the world around you, you are Zen。 Right or wrong, that was the flow I picked out of it。

ذن یکی از مکاتب بودایی است که در ژاپن به اعتلا و بالندگی خود رسیده。 ذن در معنای لغوی یعنی در حال بودن، و در لحظه اندیشیدن。 یعنی تفکر روزانه شما。 در هر لحظه و در هر عمل عادی زندگی روزانه ذهن و بدن نباید جدا از هم باشد。 باید با هم یکی شده و از هر چه غیر آن لحظه دور شود。 البته توضیح ذن با واژه ها امکان پذیر نیست。 خیلی سخت است تجربه ای احساسی را با کلمات انتقال دادن。 برای همین ذن از فلسفه پردازی،عقل و منطق، واژه ها و نام گذاری، آیین ها و مقدس سازی ها و هر آنچه که در چارچوبی قرارش دهد گریزان است。 جای ذن یکی از مکاتب بودایی است که در ژاپن به اعتلا و بالندگی خود رسیده。 ذن در معنای لغوی یعنی در حال بودن، و در لحظه اندیشیدن。 یعنی تفکر روزانه شما。 در هر لحظه و در هر عمل عادی زندگی روزانه ذهن و بدن نباید جدا از هم باشد。 باید با هم یکی شده و از هر چه غیر آن لحظه دور شود。 البته توضیح ذن با واژه ها امکان پذیر نیست。 خیلی سخت است تجربه ای احساسی را با کلمات انتقال دادن。 برای همین ذن از فلسفه پردازی،عقل و منطق، واژه ها و نام گذاری، آیین ها و مقدس سازی ها و هر آنچه که در چارچوبی قرارش دهد گریزان است。 جایگاه ذن آن سوی عقل است。ذهن ما با تصوراتی که عقل و منطق به تصویر درآورده اند پر شده。 ذهن ما پایبند شرایط و مقتضیات است。 ذن راهی است که ما را از عذاب شرایط رها می کند。 به ظاهر ساده می آید اما همین کار ساده از ذهن سفسطه گر و منطقی ما به راحتی ساخته نیست。 متدوال ترین کار روزانه ما خوردن و خوابیدن است。 همین کار ساده را ما چطور انجام میدهیم؟ در خوردن غذا به آنچه میخوریم می اندیشیم؟ ما به همه چیز فکر می‌کنیم جز خوردن آن غذایی که می‌بلعیم。 موقع خوابیدن چطور؟ ما به همه چیز فکر می کنیم جز خوابیدن。ذن یعنی موقع غذا خوردن، خوردن و موقع خوابیدن، خوابیدن。ذن روش رها سازی از قیود است。پ。 ن: اولین کتابم در باب آشنایی با ذن。 شروع به نسبت خوب و به موقعی بود。 چون باید به ذهنم یه ایستی می دادم。 فکر کنم هممون باید به ذهنمون ایست دادن یادم بدیم。 ما تو یکی از شرایط بد تاریخیم。 به خودمون ایست بدیم。 。。。more

A great way to understand the origin history and the basic philosophy of Zen。

It's funny how many different introductions and beginner friendly texts on Buddhism I've read and how much they work to respect thousands of years of history and tradition while keeping everything sensible enough for a Westerner who can't read a syllable of those funky Indian namesand then。。。 there's this book。 I've read a bit of D。T。 Suzuki before and found the same problems, before I'd really come enamoured with Buddhism in general。 I'm not sure if Suzuki is a terrible mouthpiece for Zen or if It's funny how many different introductions and beginner friendly texts on Buddhism I've read and how much they work to respect thousands of years of history and tradition while keeping everything sensible enough for a Westerner who can't read a syllable of those funky Indian namesand then。。。 there's this book。 I've read a bit of D。T。 Suzuki before and found the same problems, before I'd really come enamoured with Buddhism in general。 I'm not sure if Suzuki is a terrible mouthpiece for Zen or if Zen is just stupid。 A recurring feature of other Buddhist primers is the religion's decentering of faith, in that one is expected to rely on one's Kantian reason a bit more than trust authority and dogma, including citing the Buddha himself。 Suzuki notes that all the great Zen masters didn't agree with each other, but also continually states that Zen cannot be described in words, such as his book might attempt, and that it involves a departure from typical structures of logic, cause and effect, which means that really everything I find dumb, unconvincing and contradictory about Zen is on me, and if I'm interested in the path, I just ought to take the leap of faith。 This really goes against the sensibility that brought me to read the text in general。 I seemed to have been much more fond of the cultural image of Zen than the reality from an authority。 Nobody ever tells you how insipid many Zen koans sound。 I understand frustration is part of the process, but I'm a sympathetic reader and I still think this book fails in doing anything other than preaching to the converted。 No other Buddhist practice I've encountered seems to couch itself in so many lofty airs while virtue signalling on their austere asceticism。 I'm willing to take one more chance on Zen but will avoid ol' D。T。, who, writing in the 1930s, might've been sucking too many farts of Imperial Japan to be anything but distant and superior。 I know it partially defeats the purpose of religion to "debate" it in an athiestic way, so I will again stress that I am essentially looking for the right kind of Buddhism for me right now -- there's a lot I accept already。 Were I not already in Japan I'd have given up on Zen already。 Third time's the charm? 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Sacrificing his understanding For us to readWhat cannot be understoodThis book made me think of something in spirit of Alan Watts: “Words are signs pointing at their meaning。 Do not climb the signpost in order to get to true meaning。 Follow the pointers, leave the words behind。” I have a lot to trace, yet my hands are empty。

interesting book! good starting point for zen, i suppose。 very cool that jung wrote the preface。 "When a Zen master was once asked what Zen was, he replied 'Your everyday thought。'""A monk who was still a novice came to [Joshu] and asked to be instructed in Zen。Joshu said 'Have you not had your breakfast yet?'Replied the monk, 'Yes, sir, I have had it already。''If so, wash your dishes。'" interesting book! good starting point for zen, i suppose。 very cool that jung wrote the preface。 "When a Zen master was once asked what Zen was, he replied 'Your everyday thought。'""A monk who was still a novice came to [Joshu] and asked to be instructed in Zen。Joshu said 'Have you not had your breakfast yet?'Replied the monk, 'Yes, sir, I have had it already。''If so, wash your dishes。'" 。。。more

I don't know。 There's some 'subtle' adult jokes in this book which kinda disappointed me。 I don't think you should write jokes like that in books about religion, self-help and spirituality。 Then again this book was published a long time ago when jokes like this were not publicly accepted。 And I know many other books used to put 'crap under the radar'。 It was a trend back in the day。 Nowadays, it is no more。 Anyway, it may not have impressed me much but I guess I still learned a little。 I should I don't know。 There's some 'subtle' adult jokes in this book which kinda disappointed me。 I don't think you should write jokes like that in books about religion, self-help and spirituality。 Then again this book was published a long time ago when jokes like this were not publicly accepted。 And I know many other books used to put 'crap under the radar'。 It was a trend back in the day。 Nowadays, it is no more。 Anyway, it may not have impressed me much but I guess I still learned a little。 I should read the essays and the manuals next。 Then I can fully judge them。 。。。more

You take a lot from this book, and you don't。 You learn a lot of things that you wouldn't be able to apply to your life, for as Eckhart Tolle plainly explains 'knowledge is not knowing'。After reading this book I found myself being perfectly acquainted with every inch of the pointing finger, while still being as distant from the moon as I previously was。Nevertheless, a wonderfully fascinating reading, which leaves you begging for more。p。s。 my tip is to read the foreword by Carl Jung at the end。 You take a lot from this book, and you don't。 You learn a lot of things that you wouldn't be able to apply to your life, for as Eckhart Tolle plainly explains 'knowledge is not knowing'。After reading this book I found myself being perfectly acquainted with every inch of the pointing finger, while still being as distant from the moon as I previously was。Nevertheless, a wonderfully fascinating reading, which leaves you begging for more。p。s。 my tip is to read the foreword by Carl Jung at the end。 。。。more

Este livro literalmente me achou, deixado (ou esquecido) numa mesa, há quase vinte anos atrás; li-o ali mesmo em quade três horas。E até hoje me serve como base para reflexões sobre o tema, quando em dúvida。 Introdutório e ainda elaborado。Altamente recomendado。

Not what I expected。 Early Zen masters believed in corporal punishments。

It is useful to know when you are in a concert hall and the desperate cry goes out " is there a pianist in the house" that there is one piece of piano music that we can all play, or perhaps better said that we can all not play, but which we can perform and so save the concert from being abandoned。And John Cage and his 4'33" came to mind several times reading here of Zen masters whose greatest sermons consisted of them standing up, holding out their arms, and saying nothing。 Since this book was f It is useful to know when you are in a concert hall and the desperate cry goes out " is there a pianist in the house" that there is one piece of piano music that we can all play, or perhaps better said that we can all not play, but which we can perform and so save the concert from being abandoned。And John Cage and his 4'33" came to mind several times reading here of Zen masters whose greatest sermons consisted of them standing up, holding out their arms, and saying nothing。 Since this book was first published in 1949, perhaps that similarity is not accidental。 C。G。 Jung, who wrote an introduction to this book, was a great fan of synchronicity, while Zen's satori seems to be the awakening of the mind to the interconnectedness or fundamental indivisibility of things, in which case synchronicity would be a basic fact of life rather than something to be perceived as weird and unusual(view spoiler)[ and it turns out that this book began life as a series of articles written around the time of WWI when Jung was having his breakdown and creating his Redbook, both are moves to escape strict rationality and a turn or return to an idea of perception which is difficult or impossible to fully express in language (hide spoiler)]。Jung's introduction has an amusing beginning - he tells us that Zen is probably near impossible for the 'western' mind to grasp。 In which case it was a pointless effort of Suzuki to write a book。 Luckily for us he may have only read the introduction after he had written book, had he read that first then he might have given up on the entire process altogether。The drive of Suzuki's narrative is that Zen is empirical and experiential, it cannot really be communicated in words it can only be taught by putting through students through a process which may result in satori - a state which cannot really be explained or communicated to others, except possibly through poetry (view spoiler)[ other art forms are available, or so I have heard (hide spoiler)]。Anyway here I am rambling on。。。the book again reminded me of my basic concern about Zen - you have to have faith that the outcome will be good。 Suzuki suggests the enlightened person will jump into water to save a child, fine I am happy with that, but his examples of Zen masters include stories of them beating students with sticks, twisting their noses, cutting off a finger, and killing a cat as part of the learning experience。 Those may be metaphors or stories, but it still suggests to me that for them suffering (specifically the suffering of others) is acceptable in pursuit of a greater good。 In the examples given the guy who looses a finger achieves enlightenment and presumably regarded it as an acceptable trade off, the cat though, I imagine, was less satisfied。 Here I recall the concept of dependant origination and Japan's history in the first half of the twentieth century which featured various examples of the cultural acceptability of the suffering of others in pursuit of a greater good, but this was not unique, indeed it was fairly typical of self-important states in modern times and typically they all had their ideological frameworks which completely unexpectedly supported their self interest。It was strange for me as non-Zen Buddhism is mostly ethics, perhaps Zen is too, but Suzuki does not mention it。 The purity of mind achieved under Zen that Suzuki describes reminds me of certain ancient Greek stories: There is no wind for my ships to sail to Troy = sacrifice my daughter, My husband has sacrificed my daughter = lets butcher him in the bath, My mother has murdered my father = lets slaughter her。 Perhaps I simply lack faith (view spoiler)[ to be fair there is no perhaps about it, I am on the long waiting list of those in need of a faith transplant (hide spoiler)], or perhaps Carl Gustav was right, racism is true and my brain is fundamentally incapable of understanding (view spoiler)[ but I lack the faith to believe that either (view spoiler)[ see above (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]。 There is a fair amount of racism in the book, Suzuki sees the 'Indian' mind as fundamentally different - capable of subtleties of reasoning and abstraction, whereas the Sino-Japanese mind is simply practical, the Indian will explore and devise abstractions and refinements of thought and intellectual speculation, while the sino- Japanese Zen monk will chop wood and scrub floors。 This is both funny and sad in the context of a book that tells us too that Zen is about the escape from such dualistic and self limiting thinking, but it is hard work to escape from ourselves。An appropriate Zen response to this book would be to rip it up and throw the pieces away, but it would not be Zen to film yourself ripping it up and to post that online as a review。a finger pointing at the moon is not the moon, a book about Zen is not Zen。 And a review is just a review。 Unless it falls over in a forest。Who was the sixth patriarch before he was the sixth patriarch? And who was he after he was the sixth patriarch? Or was he? I had the thought inspired by a few words on page 129 that maybe Zen is deeply interconnected with Taoism, but then I don't know much about either, so maybe I would think that wouldn't I?The answer is in Rabelais - it's time for a drink。 The book has some tempting description of the (limited) food available in Zen monasteries - lots of picked vegetables with rice and barley, scrumptious。 。。。more

O prefácio muito me interessou quando vi que era escrito por Jung, mas achei irritantemente chato。 A escrita de Suzuki me agradou, mas não num primeiro momento (acho que fiquei com os olhos amargos pelo prefácio)。 Com o correr do livro fiquei feliz, me satisfez a leitura e consegui apreender muitas novidades que achei interessantes e me levaram a algumas pesquisas sobre os tipos de budismo japonês。 Fico grata pelo Alex Castro ter postado esse livro, pessoalmente foi muito importante pra mim。

Zen wants us to acquire an entirely new point of view whereby to look into the mysteries of life and the secrets of nature。 This is because Zen has come to the definite conclusion that the ordinary logical process of reasoning is powerless to give final satisfaction to our deepest spiritual needs。 (pg。 29) Shortly before the libraries closed, I checked out a stack of books that you might call English-language classics on Zen Buddhism。 This is the first one I've finished。 I could only read it a fe Zen wants us to acquire an entirely new point of view whereby to look into the mysteries of life and the secrets of nature。 This is because Zen has come to the definite conclusion that the ordinary logical process of reasoning is powerless to give final satisfaction to our deepest spiritual needs。 (pg。 29) Shortly before the libraries closed, I checked out a stack of books that you might call English-language classics on Zen Buddhism。 This is the first one I've finished。 I could only read it a few pages at a time。 Lots to digest! While this book has 'introduction' in its title, I'm glad I didn't read it earlier。 I think, as an introduction for someone with zero familiarity with Buddhism or even Zen, it would prove a difficult and discouraging read。 It remains a 'difficult' read because of the nature of Zen。 But this book, first published in 1934 and based on articles the author wrote in 1914, is definitely worth a read if you are keen to dig in to Zen Buddhism。 It helped me understand Zen better than anything I've read before (though the foundation of other readings helped me with this book)。I should note that I did not read the 21 page introduction from Jung。 。。。more

Li esse livro em 2007。 Foi o primeiro livro de budismo e de zen que li。 Três anos depois, eu começava a meditar em um templo zen em Nova Orleans。 Dez anos depois, eu me ordenava em um templo zen em Copacabana。 Começou tudo aqui。 Gasshô, DT。

"Uma introdução ao Budismo" serve seu propósito de nos oferecer um panorama geral dessa prática budista que se propõe empírica e voltada para a conquista de uma nova percepção de mundo e realidade。 A linguagem não é das mais fáceis e os exemplos que permeiam todo o estudo nos exigem um esforço para além da nossa visão maniqueísta de mundo。 "Uma introdução ao Budismo" serve seu propósito de nos oferecer um panorama geral dessa prática budista que se propõe empírica e voltada para a conquista de uma nova percepção de mundo e realidade。 A linguagem não é das mais fáceis e os exemplos que permeiam todo o estudo nos exigem um esforço para além da nossa visão maniqueísta de mundo。 。。。more
