    Buddhism in America The Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series Columbia Contemporary American Religion Series The United States is the birthplace of religious pluralism, and the spiritual landscape of contemporary America is as varied and complex as that of any country in the world. The books in this new series, written by leading scholars for students and general readers alike, fall into two categories: some of these well-crafted, thought-provoking portraits of the country’s major religious groups describe and explain particular religious practices and rituals, beliefs, and major challenges facing a given community today. Others explore current themes and topics in American religion that cut across denominational lines. The texts are supplemented with care- fully selected photographs and artwork, annotated bibliographies, con- cise profiles of important individuals, and chronologies of major events. — Roman Catholicism in America Islam in America .

In The Heart of Being acclaimed Zen master John Daido Loori provides a modern interpretation of these precepts and explains the traditional precept ceremony, known as jukai. He also offers commentary on Master Dogen's own instructions about the precepts and discusses the ethical significance of these vows both within the context of formal Zen training and as guidelines for living an enlightened life." "This is an important text not only for those studying Buddhism but for all of us struggling to navigate the dilemmas of our modern lives. As Daido Loori demonstrates, the Buddha's teachings can serve as a true moral compass to wise, compassionate, and "right" action."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

  • The Koan of Kindness Dharma Talk by Bonnie Myotai Treace, Sensei
    Water Speaking Water: The Koan of Kindness Dharma Talk by Bonnie Myotai Treace, Sensei A student’s voice sings out, “Take me to the river…take me to the ground…I want to be delivered…I want to be found…” She has a beautiful voice, plaintive, and when she sings it is from a soulful, ancient place that seems to change the plain afternoon air into the suddenly liminal. The student voice: so haunting, full of hollows around the vowels, earnestly asking for birth, for water, to be brought to earth. Our school is called BOWS, the Bodies of Water School, and Kate is singing her intention. I play her song over and over here in our hermitage. The day is bright. Outside the two waterfalls are swollen from days of rain, and their sound is more intense than usual. Light flickers through the leaves, motioning with the mild breeze. What is it to ask for water, to sing for it from the bottom of one’s feet? There’s an old koan that seems part of the day: Someone asked, “I’ve heard how the teachings say that ‘the great sea doesn’t harbor a corpse.’ What is the sea?” Master Caoshan said, “It includes the whole universe.” The questioner asked, “Then why doesn’t it harbor a corpse?” The master said, “It doesn’t let one whose breath has been cut off stay.” The questioner asked, “Well, since it includes the whole universe why doesn’t it let one whose breath has been cut off stay?” The master said, “In the whole universe there is no virtue.

A book for those whose minds are aching to be blown openBy Jean HoustonHow do you review a book that says it all? A book whose wisdom goes to the core of life’s lostness and gathering foundness? A book whose light illumines a single moment and banishes the darkness that invades the soul? Winter Moon is not for everyone, perhaps because it is ultimately for everyone, a work of consummate Zen mind, the trickster behind your back,whose singular style re-sets the mind’s hard drive. Whether dealing with the pottery and poetry of Rengetsu, a 19th century Japanese wise woman whose life experience encompassed everything, or in taking a lapidary look at the nature and practice of enlightenment, this is a book by a Zen master and former Abbess, a midwife of souls who stops time while encompassing the no-thingness of all space.

Whenever I think of the Mountain Record, I think of Daido Roshi and those who made the journal possible over the years, like Bonnie Myotai Treace, Sensei and Carole Kyodo Walsh. Their dedication to the dharma and to creative expression was the driving force that gave birth to the journal and nurtured its development. This was especially important in the early years when there was little staff and financial resources to bring each issue to fruition.

  • APPUNTI DALLA FORESTA Shinrin Nōto Un Percorso Zen Per Spiriti Selvatici
    Tiziano Fratus APPUNTI DALLA FORESTA Shinrin nōto Un percorso zen per spiriti selvatici I riti e la musica dei boschi sono senza tempo. Shihwu (1272-1352) o Casa di pietra La luna e il sole sono i miei sandali, sto viaggiando fra il cielo e la terra. Daitō Kokushi (1282-1337), monaco e mendicante Boscaioli e pescatori, loro sì che la sanno. Non hanno bisogno di scanni preziosi, di appositi palchi per fare lo zen. Sandali di paglia e bordone per girar l’universo, la pioggia per casa l’aria per cibo una vita intera. Ikkyū Sōjun (1394-1481), monaco vagante Non c’è Budda, non ci sono esseri viventi, non c’è passato, non c’è l’adesso. Se vuoi prenderlo, l’hai già preso: non è qualcosa che richieda del tempo. Non c’è nessuna pratica religiosa, nessuna illuminazione, niente da conquistare, niente da perdere […] Ciò che conta è questo momento presente. Linji (IX sec.), fondatore della scuola rinzai Studiare la via del Buddha è studiare se stessi. Studiare se stessi è dimenticare se stessi. Dimenticare se stessi vuol dire diventare parte del mondo. Diventare parte del mondo significa lasciar cadere corpo e mente di se stessi e corpo e mente degli altri. Eihei Dōgen (1200-1253), fondatore della scuola Sōtō È l’uomo il fiore che deve sbocciare dalle rovine di sé stesso e che attraverso la sua liberazione metterà rami e foglie e sarà uno col Tutto.

  • {PDF EPUB} a Thousand Voices by Jeri Parker a Thousand Voices by Jeri Parker
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} A Thousand Voices by Jeri Parker A Thousand Voices by Jeri Parker. A Thousand Voices by Jeri Parker Available in paperback September 5, $ 14.95. A memoir of the remarkable relationship between a young, single woman and the wild, beautiful deaf boy who, for a time, took the place of the son she’d lost, A THOUSAND VOICES is a song of love and grief and a profound meditation on the limits—and the limitlessness—of human language. His name was Carlos. Carlos Louis Salazar. And when his mother had troubles, I more or less stole him. Or that’s what I always said. He was the son I wanted, and I did get him for a while. So begins A THOUSAND VOICES . It traces the grand adventure, the whimsy, the confusion and sorrow of one boy's third of a century, recounted by the woman who teaches him and takes him in. The friendship is filled with equal parts joy and adversity as Carlos, the young, deaf man at its center, struggles to find a purpose and place in the world. But at its deepest level, A THOUSAND VOICES stays a love story about language. The story unfolds against the rich imagery of Utah’s high deserts and snow-swept mountains, the alpine forests of Idaho, and the wide boulevards of Montreal in the last decades of the last century. Jeri meets Carlos in Utah when he is ten and she is twenty-four. They interest each other. He is wild-hearted and free-spirited, traits she applauds in herself and has only slightly subdued.
