Introduction To Zen Training - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This book is a translation of Sanzen Nyumon, a key text by one of the foremost Zen teachers of the twentieth century. Written by Zen Master Omori Sogen, this popular Kegan Paul title is now available for the first time in paperback. It provides a solid introduction to the physical nature of training -- discussing breath, pain, posture, drowsiness, state of mind and physiology -- as well as the context in which Zen training takes on meaning. It is one of the few books to address the questions that naturally arise as training begins, from how long one should sit at a time to how to maintain concentration when not sitting. The book ends with commentaries on two Zen texts that help to place all of the instruction in context.
