Si le mot " zen " a pris place dans notre vocabulaire, son sens est très éloigné de la pratique d'une sagesse orientale qui se fonde sur une discipline stricte du corps et de l'esprit afin de voir clair dans sa propre nature. Zen signifie méditation. Originaire de l'Inde, l'école bouddhiste dhyana en sanscrit, samten en tibétain, thiên en vietnamien, chan en chinois, sôn en coréen devient le zen au Japon. Cette pratique prône la prise de conscience de soi en tant que Bouddha grâce à un enseignement.

Practical exercises at the end of each chapter promote this state of being and bring the mind home to its innate clarity.

We live in turbulent and uncertain times. Anger and hatred are dividing us instead of bringing us closer together. What's needed is not more of the same, but a deliberate shift to consciousness and love. Join Alex Mill, a former monk who trained in a Zen monastery for 14 years, as he guides you along his personal, true-life journey. He'll recount how he found Zen awareness practice and pursued it to discover freedom, and reveal the principles he learned so that you, too, can access the wisdom and tools necessary to bring the monastery's refuge into your own life, right where you are.

Prima o poi certe domande a cui non siamo riusciti a rispondere, che abbiamo accantonato in un angolo della mente, si ripresentano decise a non farsi più mettere da parte. In questo breve ma prezioso saggio, Montanari le affronta in modo originale. Il cuore del audiolibro è un'antologia di brani tratti dal Vangelo, messi a confronto con altrettanti passi della letteratura buddhista e, in particolare, della vasta e vivacissima aneddotica sui maestri ch'an (cinesi) e zen (giapponesi). Il risultato è sbalorditivo: nel Vangelo esiste davvero un Cristo zen.

Koans are the record of paradoxical and provocative exchanges between Zen masters and their students that developed in medieval China. These exchanges, though often elaborated through commentary, have also been boiled down to one-line questions or statements to be held in meditation and daily life. Famous examples include, "What is the sound of one hand?" and "Not knowing is most intimate." In Through Forests of Every Color, renowned Zen teacher Joan Sutherland reimagines the koan tradition with allegiance to the root spirit of the koans.
